Of course, not everyone is far better off materially than a quarter century ago. Some aren't better off at all. And many people are working harder because they have to. But here's the strange thing: The richer you are, the more likely it is that you are putting in long and harried hours at work, even obsessing about it when you're not doing it. A frenzied work life may or may not make you better off, but being better off definitely seems to carry with it more frenzy.
