Author of Living Better, Working Less: The Outcome of Environmental Progress

I have followed Professor Aronson's work for some time. I think that his "Living Better, Working Less: The Outcome of Environmental Progress" is one of the best treatments of the topics that I have seen in a while. He is the only writer so far to see the link between shorter hours and questions of the environment - at least on this side of the Atlantic.

We recommend this essay for anyone interested either in economic policies which can facilitate reduced work-time, especially withour loss in pay; or in the links between work-time and environmantal issues. Aronson writes in a popular style, making technical economic concepts understandable to all.
