The owner of time has the power
Abstract
Time is a man‐made phenomenon. Thus, it may also be owned. Ownership of time has been a decisive factor in the creation of affluence in societies throughout history. When a society has changed, it is only with changes in the ownership of time that the new society reaches its full effect. Right now, we live in an information society in which the ownership changed from that of the industrial society. The process of change is not easy. It creates problems at work and in the family. But where is the ownership of time going to in the next phase of society, the dream society? Have we already started to practise for the next change?
