Bernie Sanders' 32-Hour Workweek

Mike Williams’ Capital Idea

Bernie Sanders recently proposed a new bill, the "32-Hour Workweek Act". In this proposal, the act would include a reduction to a 32-hour workweek without a decrease in pay or benefits. Although this sounds appealing, Mike and Mitch discuss the possible implications and potential repercussions with a mandated 32-hour workweek. Instead, defenders of capitalism should advocate for freedom in the workplace when it comes to how people want to spend their time, rather than more government force.
