The Six-Hour Day & Other Industrial Questions - 9781021661562

In this prescient work of industrial sociology, William Hesketh Lever Leverhulme explores the social and economic implications of reducing the standard workday to just six hours. Drawing on examples from his own company, Leverhulme argues that shorter working hours would lead to increased productivity, improved working conditions, and greater social and economic equality. He also addresses a range of other industrial questions, from worker participation to technological innovation.
