Earth is a planet of finite resources. Capitalism does not foresee it - it is a system based on constant growth in production and consumption. The efficiency of work is constantly growing too, which does not reflect in salaries and time spent at work. Is it possible to stop this growth, or even to take a step back? Is shortening the working week an answer to this? Or maybe unconditional minimum wage? Maybe after discrediting neoliberal theories leading us from crisis to crisis a time for the economy of care has come?
