"The workweek as we know it today started with industrialization. When people no longer worked where they lived (remember that more than 90% of people worked in agriculture and as artisans - office workers worked at court or in monasteries) And unions were the ones to achieve worker protection, not entrepreneurs. People only started working really long hours when electric light etc made that possible. For the longest time, people would not work more than 5 or 6 hours a day. Until factory owners used their power to force their workers into inhumane hours and conditions and basically everyone became a slave to the clock and the machine."

Interesting. Makes me wonder what is ideal.
