Synopsis
THE FIVE-DAY WORKING WEEK MUST CHANGE: HERE’S HOW.
‘Fingers crossed that this book will shake up the five-day working week.’ - Sir Christopher Pissarides, 2010 Nobel Laureate in Economics
Friday is the New Saturday makes a compelling, provocative and timely case for societal change. Drawing on an eclectic range of economic theory, history and data, Dr Pedro Gomes argues that a four-day working week will bring about a powerful economic renewal for the benefit of all society. It will stimulate demand, productivity, innovation and wages, whilst reducing unemployment and crushing populist movements. The arguments come from both the left and right of the political spectrum to show that a polarised society can still find common ground.
In the 1800s, people in the West worked six days each week, resting on Sundays. In the 1900s, firms began to give workers Saturdays off as well, realising that a two-day weekend helped the economy. In the 2000s, Friday will become the new Saturday, and we will never look back.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. A groundbreaking book on how and why the status quo of the 5-day week must change. 'The four-day working week's implementation is a civilisational step, desirable both for the economy and for the benefit of humanity. It will unshackle humankind, propelling our productivity and innovation, and giving us the freedom to flourish.' 'Friday Is the New Saturday' makes a compelling, provocative and timely case for a paradigm shift in how the vast majority of us spend our time. Drawing on an eclectic range of economic theory, history and data, Pedro Gomes argues convincingly that a four-day working week will bring about a powerful economic renewal for the benefit of all society for every worker, every firm and every industry. Engagingly written, the book's narrative is structured around the ideas of a quartet of economic history's greatest thinkers from across the ideological spectrum John Maynard Keynes, Joseph Schumpeter, Karl Marx and Friedrich Hayek. Through these figures, Pedro also offers readers an introduction to the subject he loves, showing how economics can help us to make sense of and navigate our lives.
