Today at JTAW we have a special guest, Athena from Talking Money, to discuss the history of the 40 hour week. We also challenge its societal norm in the U.S. by discussing the productivity cap, minimum wage, <40 hour work week in other countries, and its capitalistic hold on us. With this conversation, we hope to inspire a push for a shorter work week, more comprehensive benefits, and an increase in minimum wage in the U.S. People deserve to work with dignity.
