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
