Lord Skidelsky, the economist, tells Helen Lewis about his inquiry into the four-day week.

Economist Robert Skidelsky talks working hours with the New Statesman's Helen Lewis. Lord Skidelsky is leading an inquiry for the shadow chancellor into a four-day week.

Helen Lewis meets the distinguished economist Robert Skidelsky, who's been asked by the Shadow Chancellor to lead an inquiry into a four-day working week.  Lord Skidelsky is a biographer of John Maynard Keynes, who predicted we'd be working 15 hours a week by 2030.  So what has happened to the Keynesian dream?  And, as he approaches his 80th birthday, why is Lord Skidelsky still working so hard?
