People in the past worked less than we do today. This is a wage slave fact. Most 9-5 workers don't know this. From Medieval peasants to pre-Industrial workers, there was more free time and flexibility than in today's rigid 40-hour workweek. We explore how the Industrial Revolution reshaped labor, leading to today’s relentless grind. Women face the added burden of balancing careers and family, leading many into a modern form of wage slavery. Are we truly free, or are we trapped in a system designed to exploit our labor? Watch to learn the historical facts and question today’s work culture.
