Download Free Time: The Forgotten American Dream AudioBook Free
Has the "American Goal" become an unrealistic utopian fantasy, or have we simply ignored what we are working for? In his topical audiobook, Free Time, Benjamin Kline Hunnicutt examines just how that progress, once thought as more of the good things in life as well as more leisure time to take pleasure from them, has become known only as financial growth and much more work, forevermore. Hunnicutt has an incisive intellectual, cultural, and political record of the original "American Goal" from the colonial days and nights for this. Taking his cue from Walt Whitman's "higher progress," he follows the traces of this wish, cataloguing the myriad voices that prepared for and lived in an beginning "realm of independence." Free Time reminds People in america of the ignored, best part of the "American Goal" - that more and more in our lives might be lived easily, with an enriching family life, with more time to take pleasure from nature, friendship, and the ventures of your brain and of the spirit. Benjamin Kline Hunnicutt is a Professor of Leisure Studies at the University or college of Iowa. He's also the writer of Kellogg's Six-Hour Day and Work Without End: Abandoning Shorter Hours for the Right to Work (both Temple).
