Douglas Rushkof on the economic system’s failings and how it will be transformed by the web.
Douglas Rushkof gives an incredibly thought provoking talk on the history and origins of: capitalism, economics, the corporation, money and banking. Rushkof explains how the current financial system heavily incents the creation of ‘hollow’ companies where everything is outsourced. Everything. He goes on to examine the role of web 2.0, ephasizing the elimination of information scarcity, and the role it will have in fundamentally changing – even completely revolutionizing – the fundamentals of the economic system.
Agree or disagree, this talk presents such a compelling case for the future that demands either action or refutation…
But I’m still torn.
