i'm reading about leisure to find ways of justifying my project proposal.
found this in one of the articles.
It was once believed that when economies became sufficiently productive to meet everyone’s needs, sources of conflict would evaporate, and since everyone had ‘enough’, people would enjoy longer and longer hours of free time. We now know that once survival needs have been met, people are capable of developing an endless list of wants. Indeed, they must want, and if necessary be made to want, in order to create the demand and spending on which economic growth depends. (Roberts 2011, 11)

it is one thing to want, and another thing to do something about it.
