Pink offers the definitive account of this revolution in work. He shows who these free agents are from the marketing consultant down the street to the home-based mompreneur to the footloose technology contractor and why they've forged this new path. His entertaining and provocative account of the new frontier of work reveals how America's independent workers are shaking up all our institutions from politics to education to the family.
