The Information Age and the Civil Society: An Interview with Jeremy Rifkin.
Slavin, Peter
Phi Delta Kappan, v77 n9 p607-09 May 1996
For over a century, American education's mission has centered on preparing future workers to enter the marketplace. Just as the Industrial Age ended slave labor, the Information Age will end mass wage labor, freeing up millions for shortened work weeks and/or work in the civil society or nonprofit sector. Service learning helps by creating social capital. (MLH)
