Hi Bob,
I think you're well versed in the history of economic theories, but I'm having a hard time understanding how theories woven around how the way things used to be apply to a world completely transformed by electronics, machines and communications, where information and IP rule the roost and productivity gains are competely off the charts.
I guess there is solace to those who need to cling to something they believe they can stand on, but I'm looking at a whole new ballgame. We cannot stop the flow of communications (aka information), and that alone is transforming the world into a very small - and different - place than envisioned by people who lived before the change.
At some point these topics converge, and we find ourselves looking at root philosophies. Are we looking to bring about a peaceful, stable world that is ready to take on the challenge of the universe around us, or are we to remain stuck in survival-of-the-fittest mode?
Bill
