The Null Device

An idea whose time has come? Last year, the loony leftists in France enacted a 35-hour work week, amidst protests from business groups that it would impair productivity. France is now reaping the benefits of this decision, with the lowest unemployment rate in 9 years, not to mention a happier workforce and reduced traffic problems. Perhaps this is a healthier trend than the dominant one in the US and Australia, with working hours and stress going up as the market is deregulated toward Industrial Revolution-style hours?
