The Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary and Denmark are all capitalist societies and run on <5 day work weeks. Capitalism is not the problem, North American society in particular is what seems to have the problem.
Each of which have about 2-4x union participation than USA, for example. Which indicates to me that they're doing a better job of keeping capitalism at bay, not that capitalism is more benevolent in those countries.
