Nearly a century ago, the famed economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that by 2030, the standard workweek would be 15 hours. Things have turned out differently, but as NPQ staff take a two-week break, we call attention to the economic value of rest. We begin our exploration with Ophelia Akanjo’s powerful analysis of the Great Resignation—and what it says about workplaces today. Next, we offer an article on “radical rest.” This is followed by an article that looks at worker co-ops, farming, the environment, and the importance of slowing down. Finally, we feature a webinar conversation by leading economic justice advocates about a restorative vision of work.
