4-day work-weeks will merely compress the same amount of overwork into fewer days. It will change the heat in the kitchen into a 5-alarm fire.

What drives this is the need for exponential financial growth at the top, and the way they achieve that is selling more X while paying less to produce X. There is no "balance" in the system -- it has to grow exponentially. Top managers and CEOs who don't achieve that get replaced.

The only way to balance the system is through government constraints on business. Businesses themselves have no mechanism, and no power, to do this themselves.
