The two main questions examined in this paper are: 1) What are the achievements of leisure theory at century's end?; and 2) What are the prospects for theoretical developments in the future? The first half of the paper argues that theoretical discussion has been dominated by three positions: functionalism/post industrial society theory; structuralism; and postructuralism/postmodernism. Within this framework the specialized theory and research traditions in the subject can be located. The strengths and weaknesses of the three positions are discussed. The role of the “gladiatorial paradigm” in encouraging stereotyping and scapegoating is reviewed. The second half of the paper moves on to consider the key issues identified as: 1) exploring the meaning of leisure in post-Fordist society; 2) developing a theory of deviant leisure; 3) developing which full employment is already a thing of the past; and 4) investigating the changing balance of inequalities between the leisure rich and the leisure poor
