In \u003ci\u003eOvertime\u003c\/i\u003e, Kyle Lewis and Will Stronge identify a powerful and practicable response to these worrying trends: the shorter working week. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis urgent and timely book shows what a shorter working week means in the context of capitalist economies and delves into the history of this idea as well as its political implications. Drawing on a range of political and economic thinkers, Lewis and Stronge argue that a shorter working week could build a more just and equitable society, one based on collective freedom and human potential, providing scope for the many to achieve a happier, more fulfilling life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKyle Lewis\u003c\/b\u003e iis a PhD candidate at the University of West London and a working time consultant at the think tank Autonomy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWill Stronge\u003c\/b\u003e is the co-director of the think tank Autonomy, and a researcher in Politics and Philosophy at the University of Brighton.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 6.9 x 4.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 14, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769255624992,"sku":"9781788738682","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/3f70e0dacc382bc3db465a3626d64215.webp?v=1780344438","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/overtime-why-we-need-a-shorter-working-week-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
