    Overworking has no social benefit besides few people getting extra rich yet somehow we are going that way.

      Whether overwork is a forced change or happened spontaneously is a subject for further study. I suspect that it was, initially, an organic response to a societal need. The ultra-wealthy saw an opportunity and took advantage to try and force it even more in their favor. Whether this lasts is anyone’s guess, but my money is that it won’t.
