Bro. Walker, We're going to have a discussion at EPI on work time. I can tell you our labor econ mavens are open-minded but skeptical. We are going to read an article by Gerhard Bosch and Steffen Lehndorff presented at a conference, "Globalisation of Economic Activity and the Labour Market" in Portugal. The paper is entitled "The Reduction of Working Time and Employment." I will circulate the stuff you sent me. If you have anything else we should read, short of massive treatises, let me know. Other suggested reading is welcome. MBS "People say I'm arrogant, but I know better." -- John Sununu =================================================== Max B.
