In today's marketplace there is less interest in goods and services and more interest in buying and selling personal improvements and experiences. Hunnicutt traces how this historical shift in consumption to the \"softer\" technologies of happiness represents not only a change in the modern understanding of progress, but also a practical, economic transformation, profoundly shaping our work and the ordering of our life goals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on incisive historical research, Hunnicutt demonstrates that we have begun to turn from material wealth to focus on the enrichment of our personal and social lives. \u003ci\u003eThe Age of Experiences\u003c\/i\u003e shows how industry, technology, and the general public are just beginning to realize the potential of the new economy. Exploring the broader implications of this historical shift, Hunnicutt concludes that the new demand for experiences will result in the reduction of work time, the growth of jobs, and the regeneration of virtue--altogether an increasingly healthy public life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Hunnicutt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439917094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439917091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Benjamin Hunnicutt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065588068607,"sku":"9781439917091","price":99.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c8555434-edee-422f-8524-f9f7f5cedf8e.jpg?v=1768675966","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-age-of-experiences-benjamin-hunnicutt-9781439917091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
