Oltre l'indignazione: cos'è davvero la manosfera (e perché i media la raccontano male)

Mia moglie ne parlava come di un allarme sociale, io l’avevo liquidata come roba di nicchia.

Everyone Promised Shorter Workweeks. Then Came the 12-Hour Laws.

Everyone Promised Shorter Workweeks. Then Came the 12-Hour Laws.

Keynes predicted 15-hour weeks by 2030. Gates says 2-day weeks within a decade. Meanwhile, Germany, Argentina, and Silicon Valley are legislating or normalizing 12-hour days. The paradox has a name, and it’s 161 years old.
