Where did the weekend come from?

Not everyone these days gets Saturday and Sunday off work. But where did that idea of taking two days off in every seven even come from? I first assumed this would be a story of a titanic industrial struggle involving protests and legal changes - but the story of the weekend is actually far more unusual than that. Here we touch on everything from the Babylonians to the Great Depression, the spread of Christianity to the chronic 'problem' of Sunday boozing. 0:00 Intro 0:59 A Caveman's Work-Life Balance 01:28 Celestial Cycles in the Calendar 03:00 Emperor Constantine's Decree in 321AD 03:30 The Industrial Revolution and our Relationship with Time 04:19 Holy Sundays... 04:36 ...and 'Saint Mondays' 06:31 Employer Benevolence?
