Economy 2.0
Okay, I fully admit adding “2.0” to the end of any phrase is just a lazy way of saying, “I can’t think of a more original way to capture this thought.“ But hey, you can’t argue with the success of everything 2.0.
So here we are. We’ve all heard about the credit crisis. But the mess is so much deeper and wider than that. In conversations with people over the past few months, I’ve been saying that the big thing we all have to answer is this: how bad is the global economy? Do you think it’s just another cyclical event we’ll get ourselves out of, or do we urgently need more fundamental change?
What do I think? We need to work together for long term change because that’s the only sustainable solution. Any other approach is only a band-aid. With two-thirds of the U.S. economy relying on consumption, and consumption going down, we need to figure out a way to innovate, collaborate, and create new sustainable jobs.
And what do I propose? Because, if you’re going to complain about something, what’s the solution you’re bringing to the table? Stay tuned for my next post…
