In "Make Your Own Job," Erik Baker examines how the rise of entrepreneurialism has transformed Americans' relationship with work. Following the structural unemployment of the early 20th century, individuals began seeking fulfillment through self-employment and entrepreneurship, leading to a culture that celebrates diverse forms of entrepreneurship. However, Baker highlights that this shift often comes with significant stress and overwhelming expectations. As Americans navigate this evolving landscape, they must reconcile the ideals of entrepreneurialism with the realities of stress and personal identity in a fast-paced world.
In light of rising unemployment due to the structural changes in the 19th century, Americans began embracing entrepreneurialism, seeking fulfillment through self-directed work and creativity.
The popularity of entrepreneurialism among Americans reflects their quest for identity and self-fulfillment, but has also led to exhaustion and a complex relationship with work.
