Upgrading The Economic Operating System

"When capitalism started, nature was abundant and capital was scarce; it thus made sense to reward capital above all else. Today we are awash in capital and literally running out of nature. We are also losing many social arrangements that bind us together as communities and enrich our lives in nonmonetary ways. This doesn't mean capitalism is doomed or useless, but it does mean we have to modify it. We have to adapt it to the twenty-first century rather than the eighteenth." "....How do you revise a system as vast and complex as capitalism? And how do you do it gracefully, with a minimum of pain and disruption? The answer is, you do what Bill Gates does: you upgrade the operating system."This is Part 1 of my Notes - all published on this blog - on:Capitalism 3.0 (Preface) by Peter Barnes, Source http://www.capitalism3.com
