Question

Rich people of the 19th century - as shown in cinema - spent their evenings in lounges and
salons, dancing leisurely, blowing smoke rings, discussing arcane philosophical topics, or
romancing well-dressed demure ladies. To be rich was to have leisure time. Others did their running
around. Today, the rich man is the one with no time at all. Always hard-reseed and pre-occupied
Not only do they have their hands full, they make quite a show of it. Why? How did 'busyness'
become the ultimate status-symbol of our times?
Unlike our agricultural and industrial ancestors who prided themselves on the luxury goods
they owned and how little they worked, today the ultimate inspirational objects are the workers
themselves, who, by bragging about how busy they are, can signal just how much the labour market
values them and their skills.
How much value people place on 'busyness' also varies with culture. Americans, who do not
even have the right to take paid holidays, place a premium on workaholics, while countries like
Spain, Italy, Greece and France, which are more laidback despite being developed, value leisure
more..
