The new digital economy is establishing a "zero-cost" production model, inexpensive software is taking over basic tasks, and years of exploiting the natural world have begun to backfire with deadly consequences. Working hard no longer guarantees social inclusion or income. Drawing on economics, anthropology, and psychology, and thinkers ranging from Rousseau to Keynes and Easterlin, Cohen examines how a future less dependent on material gain might be considered and, how, in a culture of competition, individual desires might be better attuned to the greater needs of society."--Jacket flap. 650 0 $a Economics $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Economics $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Economic history. 650 0 $a Economic development. 700 1 $a Todd, Jane Marie, $d 1957- $e translator. 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806025011.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006115502.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180706015059.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=487B402680E311E8B7466D3297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
