TL;DR: In the last decade of this century, the developed free-market countries are all qualitatively and quantitatively different from what they were in the first years of the 20th century but also from what has existed at any other time in history as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: No century in recorded history has experienced so many social transformations and such radical ones as the twentieth century. They, I submit, may turn out to be the most significant events of this, our century, and its lasting legacy. In the developed free-market countries--which contain less than a fifth of the earth's population but are a model for the rest--work and work force, society and polity, are all, in the last decade of this century, qualitatively and quantitatively different not only from what they were in the first years of this century but also from what has existed at any other time in history: in their configurations, in their processes, in their problems, and in their structures.
