by In my previous post on “Planning for Two Economic Futures” I promised to provide some of the names that have been suggested for the next economy. I had gathered a dozen or so title from my NORA talk on the future of the economy, and in the spirit of being more thorough, I did some additional scanning for names. One rich source was the background research we did for the Houston Foresight program’s “After Capitalism Meeting on April 14, 2012. My list rather quickly expanded to the 25 below. Uh oh, I thought, this is expanding beyond a blog post, as I wanted to briefly characterize and source the names. So, I think that piece will turn into an article. For the blog, I’ll provide the raw list as it stands today.
The point I’m hoping to make is that indeed there are [weak or is it now strong?] signals of a new economy emerging. Different researchers and analysts have come at it from different perspectives and typically feature a particular aspect, though some are pretty comprehensive. For now, I hope we can agree that something is, shall we say, brewing….
