Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a proposition that has been at the heart of the labor movement for well over three-quarters of a century: the establishment of an eight-hour workday. The author argues that this is not just a social or humanitarian demand, but one that makes sound economic sense, and outlines the potential for the eight-hour system to revolutionize the social condition of the working class. Addressing objections such as the potential for increased consumer prices or diminished profits, the author posits that, on the contrary, the system has the potential to reduce prices and increase profits for employers. By providing workers with more leisure time, this system allows for increased mental and physical health, leading to enhanced productivity, creativity, and workplace morale. The author draws on historical and comparative international examples to demonstrate how the reduction of working hours has been a consistent feature in the development of modern society, and a necessary condition for the general well-being and advancement of the working population.
