The only reason we work 5 days a week, 40 hours. Is capitalism. The more they can wring out of employees the better. If they could go back to 6 days, they would.
Studies support 4 day work weeks.
We were close to it in the (IIRC*) 70s or 80s but the idea got squashed, never to be seriously considered again.
