Linda Nazareth is an economist, author and television broadcaster. An expert on demographic and social change, she knows that small trends can cause big shifts – and she knows how to stay ahead of them.

Linda’s new book, The Leisure Economy, details what will be a sea change for the North American economy. For the past three decades, we have been steadily creating an extreme ‘time-crunch economy’ that has affected jobs, portfolios, businesses and lives. But the ‘time-crunch economy’ is turning into ‘the leisure economy’ and it will mean wrenching adjustments for our lives and institutions. Everyone from consumers, investors, businesses, and policy-makers will need to understand the changes afoot.
