Review :
This book is highly recommended for public officials, policymakers, caring businesspeople, labour and environmental activists, and anyone seeking political and economic policies that are not only socially and economically just, but that serve both human and ecological needs.' - Barbara Brandt, US Shorter Work-Time Group and author, 'Whole Life Economics: Revaluing Daily Life' 'If you are wondering how social and ecological agendas can coincide, get hold of this book! Clearly argued, highly informative, it provides an intellectual cornerstone for a post-growth society' - Wolfgang Sachs, author of 'Planet Dialectics' 'Reducing working time and sharing work better are essential steps towards reducing humankind's impact on the planet. Well written, fast moving, Hayden makes a compelling case.' - Richard Douthwaite, author of The Growth Illusion, and Short Circuit. 'Hayden handles well what may prove to be the most important policy and societal change issue of the coming decade.' - Professor Robert Paehlke, Trent University 'The struggle over time will be one of the most important arenas for social justice activists in the coming years. Anders Hayden gives us an insightful, nuanced and controversial overview of this issue. It's well worth reading.' - Jim Stanford, Economist, Canadian Auto Workers This book should be in the hands of every policy-maker concerned about protecting our planet and to creating a better and more secure future for our children.' - Ronald Colman, Ph.D., Director, GPI Atlantic
