Nobody invented it. The two-day weekend was negotiated, badly, over about a century — and almost every step was somebody acting in their own interest. Saint Monday, the day skilled workers simply declined to turn up for. The production line, which could absorb an unreliable Monday far worse than a workshop could. The half-day Saturday, bought by employers in exchange for a Monday that was actually worked. A New England mill with Jewish workers observing Saturday and Christian workers observing Sunday, which closed both because it was cheaper than arguing. And Henry Ford, who was explicit that a worker with a free day and money in his pocket becomes a customer.
