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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Will Stronge, Kyle Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788738683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788738682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 4.30w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2021 pg. 9","brand":"Will Stronge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049788141823,"sku":"9781788738682","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b7c87cd-07a8-49f5-b2bc-9dfea52e2509.jpg?v=1685003459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/overtime-will-stronge-9781788738682","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
