Since the beginning of the 20th century, several notable economists and industrialists including John Maynard Keynes have predicted that the four-day workweek was inevitable as a consequence of improvements in technology and as the concept of leisure came to be appreciated more, not simply as a means by which to relieve stress, but as a vehicle of economic growth.
