(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Benjamin Kline Hunnicutt, Sr., is a historian. He has been a professor at the University of Iowa since 1975. For most of his academic career, he has focused his research and writing on the historical mystery: "the end of shorter hours,” asking why after over a century of steady work reductions, during which work hours were cut nearly in half, shorter hours were considered an essential part of human progress, and most people expected the process to continue, did working hours stop getting shorter and the dream of increasing free time disappear?
