Germany is launching a 6-month trial of a 4-day workweek with 45 companies participating to measure productivity gains. The labour market's shortage of skilled workers has emboldened employees to seek wage increases and reduced work hours. The trial aims to reduce absences due to stress, illness, and burnout and attract untapped potential to the labour market. Critics argue it could threaten economic growth. #Germany #WorkWeekTrial #ProductivityGains

In 1971, the US govt took the ideas of Keynes and ran with it. They a gave a big middle-finger to France, by giving them a bunch of paper rather than the gold to pay back the debts the French were owed for backing #militarism in #Vietnam.

Since the mid-1970s the #productivityGains started going to those closest to the newly printed money, and not to a shortening work week.

Who is benefitting from digging holes and filling them up again?
