Description: "Everywhere one travels, people are excited about the new high-technology production system. But the global villagers are also perplexed about the social service needs that seem to accompany the high-tech economy: child-care needs for working couples, elder-care facilities for infirm senior citizens, burgeoning health-care costs accompanying high-tech medicine, nursery schools and college tuition costs, and more.".

"This book explores the various attempts around the globe to create a system of 'caring capitalism' and why modern nations have been pressured by the 'new middle class' to do so."--BOOK JACKET.
