Why haven’t working hours decreased more?

Keynes predicted substantial economic growth to lead to a 15-hour work week by 2030.

He was right about growth, but way off the mark on labor/leisure hours. Why?

@_AashishReddy Generally 78 is pretty bad, which is a terrible equilibrium.

Thank goodness this is not being done in a democratic way. Nobody without skin in the game should have any say over what’s done with rural land.

People like this, who literally know nothing, want to advise the coercive direction of capital/resources. Stupid and immoral.

Listen to this. A masterclass in awful epistemics.
