Leisure also pulls us toward a social needorientation, being a personal and social need to which most Americans can relate.Leisure is therefore well suited to be the catalyst for reshaping the goals and values thatour economic system should serve.
For example, current leisure issues direct attentionto the structure of work and leisure, the value of services we provide for ourselves, theroles of government and the private sector in meeting social needs, the distribution ofwealth and opportunities across population subgroups, the quality of the environment,the character of our communities, and the quality of life.
