Of Time, Work, and Leisure is a 1962 book by political scientist Sebastian de Grazia about the role of work time, free time, and leisure time in society. De Grazia argues that even though the average work day and work week are shorter, and technology frees up time for workers, the average worker has less free time today than they did in the past.[1]
