...President wouldn't have to sweat so hard if he hadn't started so late, argue Republicans on the Hill who are disappointed with the uneven White House performance. "It's like in and out," a senior House G.O.P. leadership aide says. "They're in, they're out, they're in, they're out. You're never quite sure where they are."

Ever since, a debate has been raging in Western societies about the nature of toil - what it is and what it's worth. In Blood Sweat & Tears (Texere; 338 pages) Richard Donkin, a Financial Times writer on management topics, sets out to find some answers.
