Re productivity as "saving time." Then the clock has been running backwards
for about 12000 years. Hunter-gatherers seldom labor over 15-20 hrs
per week. Capitalism also eliminated scores of xtian holidays in order
to increase hours of work. And if one includes commute time in the
work week (as one should), then the work week in the u.s. has been
increasing for decades -- perhaps for over half a century.
Progress. It's wonderful.
