Description

Few would disagree that the 20th century was characterized by great change that affected professional and personal lives. But what are the effects of the enormous technological, global and socio-economic changes we have experienced? How have our key social institutions been affected? In this work, Don Edgar documents the often adverse impact of these changes. In addition, he argues that we now need to undertake a rigorous re-assessment of our core institutions.
