Overview:

If you think it's getting harder to both make a living and make a life, economist, former secretary of labor and bestselling author of Work of Nations Robert Reich agrees with you. Americans may be earning more than ever before, but we're paying a steep price: we're working longer, seeing our families less, and our communities are fragmenting - the wealthy walled off and gated, the poor isolated and ignored. Reich shows just how dramatically new technologies are changing the way we organize work, and explores the consequences of these changes for ourselves and our relationships. And he puts forward some provocative ideas about how we can move toward fuller, more balanced lives. Some of his ideas may surprise you; all should spark a healthy - and essential - national debate.
