Not the same, but maybe more valuable in some ways, as it extends past your own enjoyment and affects the lives of your workers and their families positively.

although I guess that the book refers to what today would be social media?

Yep. It is pre-social media and smartphone, so didn't even mention it. I assume now that the time spent on entertainment is far higher than earlier, since we can get what we want, whenever we want it. And just think about the kids who only know that life.

though that last name is really, really hard to spell

It is why I cut and paste it ;D
