THE FIVE-DAY WORKING WEEK MUST CHANGE: HERES HOW.Fingers crossed that this book will shake up the five-day working week. - Sir Christopher Pissarides, 2010 Nobel Laureate in EconomicsFriday is the New Saturday makes a compelling, provocative and timely case for societal change.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A groundbreaking book on how and why the status quo of the 5-day week must change. 'The four-day working week's implementation is a civilisational step, desirable both for the economy and for the benefit of humanity. It will unshackle humankind, propelling our productivity and innovation, and giving us the freedom to flourish.' 'Friday Is the New Saturday' makes a compelling, provocative and timely case for a paradigm shift in how the vast majority of us spend our time. Drawing on an eclectic range of economic theory, history and data, Pedro Gomes argues convincingly that a four-day working week will bring about a powerful economic renewal for the benefit of all society for every worker, every firm and every industry. Engagingly written, the book's narrative is structured around the ideas of a quartet of economic history's greatest thinkers from across the ideological spectrum John Maynard Keynes, Joseph Schumpeter, Karl Marx and Friedrich Hayek. Through these figures, Pedro also offers readers an introduction to the subject he loves, showing how economics can help us to make sense of and navigate our lives.
