NPR has a good review summarizing the book I agree we are losing, but I don't believe it's a problem that can be legislated away. For those of you that didn't experience any of the last 4 major recessions, let me assure you, once the economy takes a 2-3 year break from unsustainable economic expansion, people will find plenty of time to put into themselves and society. Personally, I'm making hay while the sun shines. During the next bust I plan on developing semantically aware applications (well, I am doing that now), somewhere on a beach in Central America. Or whatever. I banked everything I made during the dot com runup and finished grad school after it went bust. Worked great!
