Work Time Regulation as Sustainable Full Employment Strategy

by the Sandwichman

Bob LaJeunesse's book, Work Time Regulation as Sustainable Full Employment Strategy has been published by Routledge. A 30-page preview is available online. I tried to paste the widget for the preview on EconoSpeak but couldn't figure out how it worked.

Table of Contents: Introduction 1. The Origins of the Work and Growth Fetish 2. Rethinking the Work Fetish and the Growth Consensus 3. Work Time Regulation as a Macroeconomic Policy Tool 4. The Ecological and Social Sustainability of Work Time Regulation 5. The Employment Effects of Work Time Reduction 6. A Proposal for Reform 7. Conclusion
