The new economy in times of crisis
Abstract
This article considers some of the theories and ways in which some modern scientists and economists have claimed that a "new economy" could emerge; the shift from manufacturing to services, technological transformation and flexible labour markets or telework. The advantages and disadvantages of economic change, its benefits and costs, are discussed as people desperately try to balance the pressing demands of work and personal life in times of crisis.
