A few key insights from Chapter 1:
1. Before the 21st century, the American economy mainly consisted of the Organization Man, a term that represents an individual, usually male, who devotes his life to serving an organization in exchange for a salary and a pension at the end of his service.
2. The American economy revolved around huge companies, which were led by Organization Men. Companies were viewed as families, where bosses took care of their employees.
3. As the 21st century was starting to unfold, technological advancements placed computers in the hands of the common people. This advancement happened at the same time as mass layoffs from big companies, and gave birth to the free agent worker.
4. People were moving away from devoting their lives to big corporations and following their passions, instead by building their own careers.
