True wealth is found in free time, not in being a wage slave, professional or blue collar, in having enough free time to pursue your particular interests. My epitaph won't read: "he put in 60 solid hours a week." Taleb has a neat little saying: "The most addictive things In life are carbohydrates and a regular salary."

8-hour working day is Anglo thing. The eight-hour day movement forms part of the early history for the celebration of Labour Day, and May Day in many nations and cultures. Although there were initial successes in achieving an eight-hour day in New Zealand and by the Australian labour movement for skilled workers in the 1840s and 1850s, most employed people had to wait to the early and mid twentieth century for the condition to be widely achieved through the industrialized world through legislative action. en.wikipedia.org And remember Welfarism, yes, this one that is bankrupting countries left and right is also a OECD thing.
