This will mean that more jobs will be available for more people. This, it is said, is the way we should set about restoring full employment. There is no doubt that something of this kind will happen. The shorter working week, longer holidays, earlier retirement, jobsharing these and other ways of reducing the amount of time people spend on their jobs are certainly likely to spread. A mix of parttime paid work and parttime unpaid work is likely to bee a much more mon work pattern than today, and a flexilife pattern of work involving paid employment at certain stages of life, but not at others will bee widespread. But it is surely unrealistic to assume that this will make it possible to restore full employment as the dominant form of work.

Whereas previously petitive trading had been conducted by small rival firms, after the depression the larger manufacturing units and bines relied more and more on mass advertising to promote their new range of products. A good example of the changes that occurred in manufacture and distribution at the turn of the century can be found in the soap trade. From about the 1850s the market had been flooded with anonymous bars of soap, produced by hundreds of small manufacturers and distributed by wholesalers and doortodoor sellers. Competition grew steadily throughout the latter half of the century and eventually the leading panies embarked on more aggressive selling methods in order to take customers away from their rivals.
