Since writing the post “Future Business”, it’s amazing how many references I am seeing to similar concepts. It seems there are a lot of us thinking along similar lines, and this adds weight to the argument that change IS coming.
I have just read a series of 5 short articles, starting with this page
Now, no matter where you stand in terms of politics, economics & personal beliefs, I think it is becoming clear that the world IS heading towards a major change in society. According to “The End Of Capitalism”, the 2 most likely contenders are increasingly desperate measures as a way of clinging on to power, or a more sustainable model based on local networks.
The second option is exactly the type of thing I believe is needed. A return to the scale and approach of cottage industry, local networks of small businesses providing core strength to local communities.
As an aside, I find it interesting to consider that these changes could easily happen in the next few years and that this will bring us increasingly closer to the date Dec 21 2012. Putting all the excessive claptrap about “end of the world”, there are many who are pointing to 2012 as being the end of an era, and for some kind of change to occur.
Coincidence perhaps, but food for thought, and in any case some sort of change IS coming – you can feel it.
