Pornind de la un post al lui Ciprian, in care am descoperit ideea ca Jay Conrad Levinson afirma ca […]time is no longer money. Time is life, am descoperit acest articol din NY Times. Si, citindu-l, am aflat si motivatia pentru care a aparut notiunea de “ora de vara”:
IN 1784, Benjamin Franklin composed a satire, “Essay on Daylight Saving,” proposing a law that would oblige Parisians to get up an hour earlier in summer. By putting the daylight to better use, he reasoned, they’d save a good deal of money — 96 million livres tournois — that might otherwise go to buying candles.
