Et si on ne travaillait plus que trois heures par jour ?

What if we all only worked three hours a day? That's Nobel economics laureate Émilien Long's iconoclastic proposal, at least. The flames of public debate soon grow, fanned by Long's fame and the rigor of his analysis. Is another way of living il possible? Overwhelmed by the success of his book, livre, Long takes the plunge, running for president on a do-nothing platform. His goal is simple: change society, wrench it from the path of morbid productivism and back into the pursuit of happiness. Alive with infectious intellect and a mocking eye for our lifestyle choices, this novel imagines a country upending its priorities and taking the time simply to live.
