How The Stapler Changed Office Productivity
We trace the hidden economic impact of the swingline stapler and standardized office supplies on mid-century American productivity. From Henry Ford's assembly line to the modern desk, we explore how small physical tools reduced friction in document processing, saving billions in labor hours. Lucas and Luna examine why standardization matters more than software in some contexts, looking at data from the post-war boom and what it tells us about today's remote work inefficiencies.
