Description
Thought for the day by Charles Handy on how a life well lived is less about earnings and more about what one does with their time outside of work. Handy begins the thought discussing how Britain has committed itself to full employment, how British society has become more efficient and productive over the years, and how that productivity has been measured in terms of money, not time. Handy proceeds to conclude that the jobs equation won't be solved until the British start to pay themselves in time, rather than money, through working for less, which would necessitate changing the values of the nation.
