Working Harder Isn't Working

by Bruce O'Hara

Description

In the 1960s, futurists predicted that advances in technology and increased automation would bring about an Age of Leisure and Abundance. Technology has performed its miracle: today's workers can produce twice as much per hour as their 1950s counterparts. So why are we told that we must work longer and harder — for less money — to survive in today's "competitive economy"? What's gone wrong?

Massive unemployment, soaring taxes, runaway debt, environmental degradation, and growing levels of poverty and personal suffering are the direct results of our stubborn refusal to let go of the 40?hour workweek. Bruce O'Hara offers a concrete, detailed program to reclaim the future of our dreams: a bold and delightful plan to work less and enjoy life more.
