Why I Wrote Free Agent Nation
What You'll Learn in Free Agent Nation
- The old paradigm of American work was the Organization Man. The new paradigm is the Free Agent – the self-employed, micro entrepreneur forging her own path.
- These new American workers are pursuing three values: authenticity, autonomy, and self-defined success.
- Free agents are changing the employment contract from the bargain of loyalty-for-security to one of talent-for-opportunity.
- The world of taxes and health insurance are still built for traditional workers, creating obstacles on the path to free agency.
- The arrival of free agents will have downstream effects on schools, real estate, finance, politics, and American notions of success.
