The End of Work is a good read. It also addresses your questions about why it is difficult for any one player to make the changes needed. Sorry to just refer you but the answer won't fit in this box.

I work for Digidesign and get to work 4 day work weeks every other week. I wouldn't be able to work in the technology field without it!Don't know if I can go back to normal work weeks ever again, once you're use to it..,.
