What Would You Do If You Could Do Anything?
- 100 years after Keynes and the end off the “Economic Problem”
In his 1930 essay, Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren. the British Economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that technological progress would allow people in his grandchildren's time to meet their material needs working just 15 hours a week, freeing them for leisure and culture.
While Keynes prediction that by 2030, the “economic problem” would be solved hasn't fully materialised his vision of more free time came partly true. But not through a drastic cut in market work hours but due to changing demands for consumption and more complex work.
