In fact something happened to all institutions around the world.

Right across much of the world

Other than a massive bill for overtime.

Let me draw that right over here.

The workman, as a rule, works eight hours a day.

Laborers normally work 8 hours per day.

The workman, as a rule, works eight hours a day.

Problems boss ....

Those weren't the easiest of days

North America being a notable exception working hours have been coming down.

So this is working and actively looking for work.

The workers were laid off for three weeks.

The laborer was layed off for 3 weeks.

The laborers were layed off for 3 weeks.

Wasteful abusive and focused on labor productivity.

Let me write that down on the side here.

Today, the average Korean works a thousand hours more a year than the average German a thousand.

The workers union called off their 24 hour strike today.

Labor, in this way, is another form of slavery.

6 hours of talk time and 36 standby on your battery.

Instead of laying off these workers, why don't we just cut their hours?

They are demanding shorter working hours.

But now it's turned around.

The other point is that it is hard.

The totality of this project involves tens of thousands of hours of human labor 99 percent of it done by women.

For example, love might not be a scarce resource. You might have an infinite amount of love.

Because the aid and oil or mineral money acts the same way.

The workers. The striver's.

But we can make a series of simplifying assumptions.

Nevertheless, there are ways to fix them without depending on public finance.

This must be the old boy had your seismos working overtime.

To cope with this problem, we had better quit working long hours, right?

And if you go beyond sort of the country level, down at the micro company level, more and more companies now are realizing that they need to allow their staff either to work fewer hours or just to unplug to take a lunch break, or to go sit in a quiet room, to switch off their Blackberrys and laptops you at the back mobile phones, during the work day or on the weekend, so that they have time to recharge and for the brain to slide into that kind of creative mode of thought.

When I pay for something I am making a trade.

There are a trillion hours a year of participatory value up for grabs.

This is a treadmill.

And he puts an exclamation mark, OK? This is an awful lot of work.
