About This Book

The pamphlet analyzes arguments for a legally limited working day, first defining work and its measurement by duration and intensity, then examining physiological and mental consequences of long hours, the economic trade-offs of shorter hours, and the historical development of the movement across several countries; it concludes with an assessment of contemporary debates, practical difficulties, and general recommendations for balancing workers' welfare with economic realities.
