About the Author:
Work. It's the key to our daily survival and the source of humankind's greatest achievements, from poetry to pyramids to political systems. When we drastically change the way we work—as we did during the Industrial Revolution and as we're doing again in the Information Age—we set in motion forces that restructure societies around the globe, alter basic human relationships, and even transform our physical environment.
Carl E. Van Horn is professor of public policy and director of the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ.
Herbert A. Schaffner is director of marketing, communications, and publications at the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ.
