New Economy, New Wealth

On the other hand, given the state of affairs in world,

maybe we don't know as much as we thought.

In fact, maybe we've forgotten

something very important.

These are all Industrial Age economic models,

and we are no longer in an Industrial Age.

Natural Economies

Agricultural Economies

Industrial Economies

Information Economies

They GROW in value when shared

If Info Age economies

don't revolve around scarcity,

then we need new models.

These functions are separable,

and configurable in different ways

to make different types of currencies

College Degree = Token of Status

College Credit = Unit of Account

Course Grade = Performance Metric

Have you noticed that more MONEY

doesn't make you more happy?

Accumulation is NOT

the same as Wealth

Quality of Life Measures

Triple-Bottom-Line Accounting

Gross National Happiness

New Economy,

New Wealth

The current economy is ending.

And that's actually good news.

Each level functions with

VERY DIFFERENT currencies

How can I get started?

Dollars won't take us where we need to go,

so it's time to be building new ones.

Economic Components

As change accelerates, adaptive organizations thrive more

than their industrial-age command-control counterparts.

Centrally-controlled currencies, commercial markets and heirarchal organizations (such as corporations & governments) approach extinction as more efficient distributed currencies, gift economies and self-organizing networks replace them.

First, let's talk about

New Economy,

New Wealth. by

Arthur Brock

Governments & Corporations

Wow !

We sure know a lot

about this stuff!

Something Like :

VERY NARROW CONTEXT

The debates about our economy

are in a VERY NARROW CONTEXT.

We've forgotten the larger picture...

...of the process of evolution we're within.

Labor

Land

Example: The printing press was a quantum leap in productive capacity in much the same way that organizing labor created a quantum leap at the prior level

Industrial

Revolution

Hold it !

Monarchies, Feudalism, Empire

This presentation isn't about economics.

It's about New Wealth

So let's get back on track...

Religio-Archic Paradigm

Farming & Husbandry

Functional

Economic Components

"Domestication" of people and animals for production of food and resources. Food surpluses enable increased population and specialization.

Emergence of ruling classes and strong hierarchies.

( exactly as Cancer is not the same as health)

How do you experience wealth?

beautiful surroundings

friendship

& community

able to give

feeling of security

Others have noticed and began

creating new ways to understand WEALTH:

deep connections

& conversations

Remember all those

economic models?

travel

leisure time

freedom

Craigslist

Land

...but...

family & fun

Labor

Cities & Nation-States

Example:

What does Wealth

really mean Now?

What do they have in common?

• Focused on Scarce Resources
• Currency = Medium of Exchange
• Wealth = Accumulation

(three non-monetary currencies designed to work together)

Let's consider these...

Information Age assets don't follow

industrial age scarcity principles.

Agricultural

Revolution

Bang!

Money combines multiple functions

• Medium of Exchange
• Store of Value
• Unit of Account
• Token of Status / Reputation
• A Metric or Measure

Economy of Nature, Family & Tribe

* Today's economy is not a recession. It's the end of an era.

In case you're wondering if you'll see this in your lifetime...

You might still be here for the NEXT LEAP after this one! *
