Synopsis
Americans seem to generally feel that there is a sharp increase of working hours and a corresponding cutoff of leisure. The Overworked American details the economic and social causes of this trend and its huge damage to families and the society. As one of the world bestsellers in 1992, The Overworked American points out that it is generally acknowledged that capitalism brings about the improvement of productivity, and leisure should increase spontaneously. Therefore, people should blame none other than themseves for their constant rush. The book questions this logic inference, and argues that the capitalist labor market mechanism and the vicious circle of work-consumption are the pushing hands of the trend behind the scenes. It perfectly combines social observation with economic theories. The argumentation is rigorous, the data are abundant, and the language is easy to understand.
