Just as information workers surpassed physical laborers in economic importance, Pink claims, the workplace terrain is changing yet again, and power will inevitably shift to people who possess strong right brain qualities. His advocacy of "R-directed thinking" begins with a bit of neuroscience tourism to a brain lab that will be extremely familiar to those who read Steven Johnson's Mind Wide Open last year, but while Johnson was fascinated by the brain's internal processes, Pink is more concerned with how certain skill sets can be harnessed effectively in the dawning "Conceptual Age." |

The Organization Man is history. Taking his place is America's new economic icon: the "free agent"—the job-hopping, tech-savvy, fulfillment-seeking self-employed independent worker. Already 30 million strong, these new "dis-organization" men and women are transforming America in ways both profound and exhilarating.
In this landmark book, Daniel H. Pink offers the definitive account of this revolution in work. He shows who these free agents are—from the marketing consultant down the street to the home-based mompreneur to the footloose technology contractor—and why they've forged this new path. His entertaining and provocative account of the new frontier of work reveals how America's independent workers are shaking up all our institutions—from politics to education to the family. Are you ready for . . . - The Peter-Out Principle—Successor to the famous "Peter Principle," this new rule decrees that when the fun peters out, the talented walk out.
- Un-schooling—Individual-centered learning like home-schooling and apprenticeships will threaten Ivy League colleges and end high school as we know it.
- Individual Public Offerings—The upper echelon of free agents will issue these new "IPO's," or stock . . . in themselves.
- E-tirement—When Americans reach age 65, more will enter this new stage of life. Working as full-time, part-time, and anytime free agents, they'll be finding and executing work over the Internet.
- Just-in-time Politics—The political version of just-in-time manufacturing that will challenge the present two-party system.
- The Feminine Century—It's here: many analysts estimate that by the year 2005, half of all businesses will be run by women.
Hip and hopeful, meticulously researched and joyously iconoclastic, FREE AGENT NATION will change your thinking—and maybe even change your life. |
