The TimeWork Web restored
Last week the server that hosts my TimeWork Web crashed its hard drive and
deleted the web files. I restored the website today and gave it a minor
facelift. The TimeWork Web has been online since June 1995 as a repository
of narrative analysis on working time.
http://www.vcn.bc.ca/timework/worksite.htm
TEASER: Match the following sources and quotes
A. "Wealth is liberty -- liberty to seek recreation -- liberty to enjoy life
-- liberty to improve the mind: it is disposable time, and nothing more."
B. "The limitation of the working day is a preliminary condition without
which all further attempts at improvement and emancipation must prove abortive."
C. "On the side of the working population there can be no question
respecting the desirability of fewer hours, from every standpoint."
D. "The general conclusion is manifest that progress may be expected to be
accompanied by a progressive curtailment of the working day."
1. The International Congress of Working Men
2. The classical (marginalist) statement of the theory of hours of labor
3. Anonymous 1821 pamphleteer
4. Report of a U.S. congressional commission on labor
