Abstract

Issues of work and leisure are topical at the moment. We are living in a period of long-term, mass unemployment in much of the Western world. In Britain and some other parts of Europe it is approaching the scale of the 1930s.2 In the aftermath of the Great Depression, and particularly in the period of postwar reconstruction, a consensus emerged committed to policies of full employment. This was to be achieved on the basis of steady economic growth, which was also to provide for a rising standard of living and a gradually increasing amount of leisure time.
