Control.
Cool youtube video describing capitalists controlling clocks to make laborers work for longer hours.
I've finally came around to watching it and, oh boy, it is not good :-/ From the beginnig that are loaded statements about stone age people and their working habbits. I suggest reading Lars Svenden's "Work". I don't think it mentions clocks, but goes into the details of how work and worker rights have evolved from anciemt times. A short, 100-ish page book that gives you all the neccessary basics.
Thanks for the recommendation, just downloaded it and I'm going to read it at work hahahaha.
