About This Book

The Future Beyond the Paycheck

The Post-Work Society provides a clear, grounded framework for understanding what comes after the job-centered model. Quentin G. Dalton explores why the old promise of employment is breaking down and what it means when work can no longer be the main source of income, identity, and social order.

With a practical, expository approach, the book examines:

  • how industrial-era assumptions still shape modern employment
  • why burnout, insecurity, and underemployment are structural problems
  • how AI and automation are changing the demand for human labor
  • what shorter workweeks and broader work-sharing could achieve
  • how public services and new social contracts can support a livable future
  • For readers interested in the future of work, economics, policy, and social change, this book offers a serious, accessible vision of how people might earn, contribute, and find purpose beyond full-time employment.
