Shaping Our Future
Open any serious business page these days and you’ll see a piece about a major shift on the economic front, something called post capitalism.
It’s a name being given to the emerging new era in our history, a time that speaks to the profound changes being driven by the technological revolution that is reshaping and changing how we do almost everything.
In his latest book, Post Capitalism, A Guide to Our Future, author Paul Mason, posits that in our old market system, as we have known it for 200 years, “whole swaths of economic life are beginning to move to a different rhythm,” one previously based on markets, wages and private ownership to a new model that is more socially just and sustainable.
The book is extremely interesting, wide ranging in scope, provocative and unsettling, but at the same time, he reminds us that the future is opening new paths, if only we will take them.
If you are interested in the big picture and business in general, you may want to put this book on your night table or read it when you’re sitting at 35,000 feet on the way to your next meeting.
