Editorial Reviews
Review
"Benjamin Kline Hunnicutt's new book could hardly be more timely. His central theme--that the American dream once was not confined merely to ever growing levels of abundance--is all the more relevant in an era of climate science denial and anti-environmentalism of various sorts. . . I had a hard time putting Free Time down."--John Buell, author of Politics, Religion, and Culture in an Anxious Age
