Synopsis

A clear plan to simplify time for business and daily life.

This non-fiction work argues for a single, fixed-almanac system that makes months uniform and week days predictable every year. It explains how current calendars create waste, confusion, and extra work for workers, rulers, and businesses alike.

This edition presents a historical case for reform, tracing how timekeeping evolved and why modern needs demand a change. It contrasts several proposed methods and explains why a four-week-per-month model could reduce errors, speed accounting, and improve planning across nations.
  • A practical case for adopting a rational, 28-day February-inspired month structure.
  • Analysis of how irregular weeks and shifting dates complicate wages, dividends, and schedules.
  • comparisons of different reform proposals and their trade-offs.
  • Insights into how an international approach could align calendars worldwide.
Ideal for readers curious about the history of calendars and the practical impact of timekeeping on trade, government, and daily life.
