  Question 497: How long is the working-day from the point of view of the capitalist?   
  [1628] Pisciphiliac: When the capitalist is looking at the length of the working day, he must take current productivity levels and compare them with the possible productivity levels of tomorrow. Workers desire to spend time with their families and may physiologically be unable to sustain long-term if the work day is too long. A capitalist will want to work as many hours as possible today, up to the point that is does not cause a decline in the outlook of the workers and their productivity tomorrow. When a capitalist finds this point, he is maximizing the productivity of his workers.
