This is part of what Robert Gilman has to say in the essay "The Importance of Time," published in In Context magazine in 1983:
I can't help but feel that one of the major blockages in our culture is that we are trying to apply the attitudes and institutions that grew out of a goods-limited era to a time when (at least within our society) people are increasingly time-limited. It is not that goods are in absolute surplus, but they are no longer the primary limiting factor, and they would be even less so if we had better modes for distributing both work and wealth. If we understood this shift, we would not be trying to "get the economy moving again" and create more jobs, we would be working towards more job- sharing. We would welcome the gradual decline in the amount of time spent in the market economy as a sign of our economic progress.
