On the contrary, argues award-winning journalist Chris Farrell, we are instead on the verge of a broad, positive transformation of our economy and society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The old idea of \"retirement\"--a word that means withdrawal, describing a time when people gave up productive employment and shrank their activities--was a short-lived historical anomaly. Humans have always found meaning and motivation in work and community, Farrell notes, and the boomer generation, poised to live longer in better health than any before, is already discovering \u003cb\u003eunretirement\u003c\/b\u003e--extending their working lives with new careers, entrepreneurial ventures, and volunteer service.
