Workers in advanced countries typically work shorter hours. Yet Canadian and American workers are working much longer hours than their counterparts in Europe and other leading nations. It wasn’t always this way — nor does it have to stay this way. In this fascinating, highly-readable book, Jon Pierce tells the intriguing story of the battle for shorter hours, how it was eclipsed by the battle for higher wages, and why now is finally the moment for a breakthrough that would give us all more of the precious gift of time. * LINDA McQUIAG, journalist and author of The Sport and Prey of Capitalists *
