Written at the height of the labor movement in the early 20th century, this book calls for a shorter workday as a way to improve the lives of working people. Hadfield argues that reducing the hours of work will increase efficiency, reduce accidents, and improve the health and well-being of workers. He draws on examples from other countries where shorter workdays have been implemented, and makes a passionate case for this important reform. A timely and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in labor issues.
