Busyness

The summer 2005 issue of journal on Social Research is a navy blue volume titled "Busyness." It's tagline? "Busyness as the Badge of Honor for the New Superordinate Working Class."

Here are some references from the articles therein.

1. In his book The Ugly Civilization (1929), Ralph Borsodi writes: An earn and buy economy is causing us to measure men we know by what they earn, measure the life we have to spend in terms of money. But time is not money at all. Time is life itself.

2. In Russian, the word for busyness is suyeta, the same as for vanity. (I've just dashed off a note to a real Russian person to confirm this. Hi I!)

3. In his book, Tyranny of the Moment: Fast and Slow Time in the Information Age (2001), Thomas Eriksen writes: Growing numbers of people are becoming accustomed to living in a world where colorful fragments of information flit by, lacking direction and cohesion, and do not see this as a problem. Computers undermine the pleasures of slow time, like fishing or savoring a skill, and create instead the tyranny of the moment.
