The Leisure Economy: How Changing Demographics, Economics, And Generational Attitudes Will Reshape Our Lives And Our Ind

by Linda Nazareth

John Wiley & Sons | October 3, 2007 | Hardcover

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.

Great stats and overview, but tries too hard...

Ray Green

4 years ago

This book is a great follow up for anyone who has read any of the "Boomer-fallout" books. The stats and arguments are well presented, but the author seems to try almost too hard to make them palatable. The quotes from what seems to be an endless stream of self-absorbed former yuppies are tiresome, and distract from an otherwise fine product.
