Saving Mother Earth
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book adds a powerful new dimension to the array of arguments for reducing hours of work. Sharing the Work, Sparing the Planet stands out for that reason from the recent stream of books advocating cutting the hours of work. Hayden shares the concerns of many writers - job creation, improved quality of life for the employed, balancing work and family, and equity between North and South and men and women - but adds a compelling environmental basis for cutting working time. It is among the very best books on the subject of working time.The stress that consumption in the North puts on the Earth's ecology is the main concern of the book but make no mistake: This book is about cutting the hours that we work.
