Yeah no shit. The problem is that capitalism hates it.
"Hmmm... Solve world hunger...Why don't we do that?..."
"Sir, your dinner is ready."

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.
