But at the dawn of the new millennium, Americans see that commitment to a corporate structure does not guarantee personal validation or financial security. In the fastest growing movement today, people are rejecting the idea of corporate loyalty to explore more creative ways of making a living.

Seller's Description:
Very good, very good. 356, notes, appendix, index. This investigation into the American workforce introduces the concept of the free agent who, unlike the organization man of the 1950s and after, is no longer yoked to a large corporation. People who are free agents leverage their skills and cherish their independence, and sometimes they form small networks or microbusinesses. Pink examines the number of these independent workers in the economy, and how they are changing the way business operates. Pink (contributing editor, Fast Company) reveals that over 25 million Americans are now self-employed, and fewer than one in ten works for a Fortune 500 company. This excellent work synthesizes the seismic shift in attitudes and in patterns of work in the economy from the early 1950s era of William Whyte's The Organization Man to today's independent worker.
