Answer 1

1
its laborers(同位语指的是上文的majority of the population) will have（谓语） almost as much leisure as in earlier
（可理解为 as much as the leisure was enjoyed by the aristocracy ）times was enjoyed by the aristocracy.）
该社会占总人口中的大多数人员，即劳动人民，会更早享有同社会中精英人员所享有一样多的空暇时间。

which引导同位语从句，it will be in the economic interest of certain people to change as often as possible . in the economic 为短语做状语前置，正常的语序为it will be interest of certain people to change as often as possible in the economic .
