By way of illustration, when Augustus came to power, around 30 B.C., the free citizens of Rome had 76 holidays a year. When Nero died, not quite a century later, they had 176. Arnold Toynbee, the british holidays historian, has noted that Rome was beset by a species of technological unemployment. The way our modern economy is structured, if productivity should increase 3 to 4% a year, it is unlikely that the production of goods would increase at the same rate. |
