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.
