�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Unemployment is at its highest level since the Great Depression. Technologies, which have brought vast improvements in productivity, have slashed the numbers employed in manufacturing and agriculture, while the service sector is unable to take up the slack. A tiny elite of 'knowledge workers' - scientists, entrepreneurs and consultants - will still be in demand but most jobs are disappearing fast, resulting in the creation of an 'underclass' caught between apathy and criminal violence. Such, argues Rifkin in this powerful polemic, is our true situation today. We can either bury our heads in the sand or urgently rewrite the social contract by expanding the non-profit sector, cutting the working week and sharing the fruits of progress.
