Juliet Schor presents the astonishing news that over the past twenty years our working hours have increased by the equivalent of one month per year — a dramatic spurt that has hit everybody: men and women, professionals as well as low-paid workers. Why are we — unlike every other industrialized Western nation — repeatedly “choosing” money over time? And what can we do to get off the treadmill?
