How to Save the World (again)
THE POST-CONSUMER ECONOMY: A MODEL FOR OUR FUTURE
I know I've already drawn your attention to this site, but as I kept reading I decided to post about it again.
Another great article. Idealistic? Naive? Maybe. But maybe not. I certainly agree that something has got to change. And at least somebodies making suggestions!
The follow up article is also interesting...
NEW COLLABORATIVE ENTERPRISES: LIFE AFTER CAPITALISM
I actually remember reading about a company set up which was in a way similar to that described in the article. The book was 'the Tipping Point', referenced in the article - so maybe that's where the idea came from.
The company was a company called Gore - the company had no titles, it was a 'flat' organisation. Everyone was simply an 'associate'. Once the company reaches 150 employees (or 'members') it seperates into two smaller divisions and continues until one or both reach 150 again. Read the referenced article for more.
