New Economic Model Needed

February 9th 2012 at 7:36 am

My column over at Futurismic this month explores the idea that we may need a new economic model.  This came  to me as I was helping the household fifteen-year-old with her middle ages homework, and looked into the class society and the general model of feudalism.  We have changed what we value and how we value it in the past.  In fact, we’ve done with with most revolutionary changes such as the industrial revolution, the information revolution, the probably-coming biological revolution (yes, I know Monsanto exists now).  Someday we may call the current roiling of political and possibly economic models the social revolution.  But I’m wandering a bit – maybe because it’s early.  Drop by my column on New Economies and take a look at a few forces shaping our future economic life.  Add your own ideas if you have time.
