Fascinating reconstruction on the working hours of populations over time, with the narrative being that technology has indeed released humanity from overwork, and will increasingly do the tech we add. The analysis omits one hugely significant factor though - the entry of women into the tracked labour force - which may have dispersed the measured labour more evenly across more individuals, rather than concentrating them in male labour vs unmeasured female labour. Anyways, tis interesting with nice interactives too.
