For the past three decades, we have been steadily creating an
extreme ‘time-crunch economy’ that has affected jobs, portfolios,
businesses and lives. But the ‘time-crunch economy’ is turning into
‘the leisure economy’ and it will mean wrenching adjustments for
our lives and institutions. Everyone from consumers, investors,
businesses, and policy-makers will need to understand the changes
afoot.
The Leisure Economy posits profound economic changes in
North America due to both the retirement of the baby boomers and
the attitudes of ascendant generations X and Y. Looking at trends
in demographics, economics and generational change, this book looks
at how to stay ahead of the leisure economy and predicts who will
be the winners and losers in the seismic shift ahead.
