The collaborative economy emerges

This is probably the most comprehensive research on the emergence of a new type of economy resulting from the ability of human beings to connect with each other on a scale previously unimaginable. Not everyone will get through 346 pages but in summary I think it says:

"In the future, there will be no jobs, no careers, no corporations, no institutions .... There will simply be things that need to be done ... And the right people coming together to make them happen." Frank Dunn

Winning by sharing is a state of cooperation that exists between companies, individuals and nation states where there is a continuous fair exchange of value as opposed to business and government which is based on the notion of I win, you lose.

Hat tip to Michel Bauwens and his team at the P2P Foundation.

"There's a spectre haunting the world. The spectre of peer to peer." Michel Bauwens

Enjoy.

"most comprehensive" is an understatement, this is great! I've already started sending this out to my network and I'm only 20 pages in, thank you for sharing.

The BBC in crisis. A word to the wise. Decentralise. One of the executive vice-presidents of the Union Carbide Corporation... remarked in a private conversation that he and his colleagues "had no idea how to manage a large corporation." He said they simply did not know enough of the corporate workings, nor did they know what to do even if a clear problem was identified.

How valuable is Twitter's heartbeat? Amazing analysis of 500m Tweet by SGI Global in an attempt to monitor the heartbeat of a nation in real time in terms of their feelings and sentiment. In this case their actions during the US presidential election in 2012.
