Almost everyone in modern society feels the growing pressure on the available twenty-four hours a day. The author of this, applying economic analysis, examines the changing uses of time. He finds that contrary to expectations, economic growth has not resulted in an abundance of free time and a leisurely life; it has, in fact, produced a scarcity of time and more hectic tempo. Includes an Index. "Linder's socio-economic put-down is based on the assumption that the rarst elment on earth is time...tne arguments that (he) offers are gently satirical. A mischievous streak rises irrepressibly in his book." - Time
