DESCRIPTION:Juliet Schor\, professor of sociology at Boston College\, discusses how the confluence of sustainability imperatives\, economic stagnation\, and digitally enabled creativity has given rise to a movement of connected consumption. On- and off-line\, people are sharing\, swapping\, collaborating\, renting\, gifting\, trading\, and teaching. Innovations such as Freecycle\, time banks\, and co-working make it possible for households to live low-impact\, high-satisfaction lives anchored in rich social networks and financial independence. Professor Schor will share her findings on the present and future of a development that is likely to transform daily life in dramatic ways.\nPhoto: courtesy Juliet Schor
