The shorter work week is entirely a capitalist invention. As capital investment caused the marginal productivity of labor to increase over time, less labor was required to produce the same levels of output. As competition became more intense, many employers competed for the best employees by offering both better pay and shorter hours. Those who did not offer shorter work weeks were compelled by the forces of competition to offer higher compensating wages or become uncompetitive in the labor market.

Labour unions didn’t do much

Same with child labour, when child labour was declining on it’s own. Union backed legislation came in

Price controls are one of the more inefficient and distorting forms of market intervention, in most cases. There are many other alternatives to price controls.

Although I don’t think there were really many in place leading up to 2008?

Yeah but nobody said price controls

However while price controls didn’t cause 2008

Other regulation did and central planning did

Peter did say prices controls

@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ define shorter work week but people never worked Sundays until the industrial revolution, the modern weekend was an industrial invention sure but the weekend wasn’t

@The_Don_73 What?

I'm saying work hours declined while wages increased

there was a huge expansion economically and living standards

Child labour was falling too

I was just focusing on one thing you had said that’s all. I can’t really comment on anything else

Charlie Kirk is a pathetic partisan hack
