"The 1929-1950 period saw the last sharp decline in the American workweek--a
decline that does not mean that the economy was depressed and performing
poorly in 1959 or 1949 (or 1939) relative to 1929, but instead that
Americans had decided to take a substantial part of their increased
technological wealth and use it to buy increased leisure."
