Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the movement to shorten the length of the working day in the United Kingdom from the 1800s to 1892. Throughout the 19th century, factory work often meant a 12 to 14 hour work day with few breaks and even less time off. In the mid-1800s, a massive movement for shorter working hours began to take hold, succeeding in cutting factory working hours for children and ultimately for all workers. The author, a businessman and a student of economic history, argues that such reforms were crucial to improving the lives of workers and should serve as a lesson that economic growth should not come at the expense of individual well-being. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Utopia Through Capitalism a Study of the Possibility and Desirability of a Shorter Working Day' explores the intersection of economic theory and social progress during a pivotal era of industrial growth. Arthur Dahlberg presents a compelling argument for the reduction of labor hours as a means to achieve a more equitable and prosperous society without abandoning the fundamental structures of capitalism.The work delves into the mechanics of industrial production, examining how increased efficiency and technological advancement could-and should-lead to more leisure time for the working class. Dahlberg analyzes the potential economic consequences of a shortened workday, addressing concerns of productivity, wages, and consumption. By framing a shorter work week not as a radical threat but as a logical evolution of the capitalist system, the author seeks a path toward a more balanced social state through market-driven reforms.This study serves as a significant historical document in the fields of labor relations and economic thought, offering insights into early 20th-century debates surrounding work-life balance and the social responsibilities of industry. It provides a unique perspective on the potential for capitalism to foster human well-being through structural labor adjustments.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
