SOMETHING IS HAPPENING
RIGHT IN FRONT
OF OUR EYES.
Today’s economy is not just in a recession with disrupted supply chains or inflation: it’s the end of an era.
This is a game-changer
for those who can see it.
We are finding ourselves at the emergence of intelligent distributed organizations. The information age is giving birth to digital peer-to-peer networks and open knowledge. This Information Age doesn’t revolve around centralized, hierarchical command and control mindsets nor laws of natural resource scarcity developed in prior centuries.
Therefore, we need new models to understand and engage in this innovation wave. We need to move from thinking about traditional economics to thinking about wealth.
We might even begin to see that wealth is not the same as accumulation.
