Shifting Time is an incisive, fact-filled examination of social policy in Canada and the impact of new technology on the changing job market. It challenges the technological imperative and the accompanying religion of economic growth at whatever cost, including unsustainable insults to the environment.

Review:

"These three writers of remarkably varied backgrounds urge their readers to examine the new realities of work as well as the fate of those who may never find work, Canadians whose path to meaningful social contribution and economic independence is blocked by 'technological progress'." --from the Afterword by Ursula M. Franklin -- from the Afterword by Ursula M. Franklin
