How did Linder analyze the economics of time?
I viewed time as a fundamental scarce resource, akin to capital or labor, with significant economic implications. In 'The Harried Leisure Class,' I argued that as societies become wealthier, individuals gain more income but simultaneously face increasing time pressures. This scarcity of time influences consumption patterns, production methods, and the very nature of economic progress, leading to a complex interplay between leisure and productivity.
