Of Time, Work, and Leisure is a 1962 book by Pulitzer prize-winning political scientist Sebastian de Grazia about the role of what he calls "work time", "free time", and "leisure time" in society. De Grazia argues that even though the average workday and work week are shorter, and technology frees up time for workers, the average worker has less free time today than they did in the past.
