Juliet Schor presents the astonishing news that over the past twenty years our working hours have increased by the equivalent of one month per year -- a dramatic spurt that has hit everybody: men and women, professionals as well as low-paid workers. Why are we -- unlike every other industrialized Western nation -- repeatedly choosing money over time? And what can we do to get off the treadmill?<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Juliet Schor</b> is associate professor of economics at Harvard University.
