Most people here could choose to work less than full-time hours if they wanted to. I already do (although I do it so I can work more on my own projects, to be fair).
Although, maybe going against the hedonic treadmill is against our nature. There’s always a nicer house in a better neighbourhood to work for. But I at least want more people to have the choice to work fewer hours through higher wages. That might not come for free with economic growth, but it certainly won’t come without it.
