isn't the difference betwen European and Amurrican "tastes" for leisure really just a result of the greater success of labor and social-democratic movements in the latter?
In some sense, yes, but I remember interviewing someone from the UAW when I was first doing my radio show who said that the membership (unlike that of the CAW) wasn't at all interested in pressing for reduced work time. They wanted as much overtime as possible to bring their incomes up to $100,000.
