‘Since the start of capitalism and the start of industrialism, the shorter working week has been front and centre.’
On this week’s episode, Grace speaks to Kyle Lewis and Will Stronge, authors of Overtime: Why We Need a Shorter Working Week.
They discuss the centrality of struggles over working time to the history of class struggle, why the shorter working week should be a central demand of labour movements today, and how we need to reimagine work to build a more just and sustainable world.
