nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - For two hundred years, the bargain underneath modern life was simple. You worked. In exchange you got a household, a mortgage, an education for your children, and a country that recognized you as one of its productive members.The children born after 2025 will be the first cohort in industrial history for whom that bargain no longer holds.In \*The Last Generation to Work\*, A.

The cohort being born right now will grow up knowing they do not have to make a living the way their parents did. What does identity look like without an occupation What does a healthy post-employment childhood actually require And what questions does this generation get to answer that ours could not For readers of \*A World Without Work\*, \*The Coming Wave\*, \*Bullshit Jobs\*, and \*The End of the World Is Just the Beginning\* - but written for the parents, teachers, young adults, and policy thinkers who already sense the institutions around them are running on assumptions that no longer match the world.A companion volume to \*The White-Collar Century\*. Where that book argued generative AI inverts which workers go first, this one argues that the result is a generation for whom 'a career' is no longer the default frame of an adult life. …
