The rules for organizational survival in a blurred economy are very different. Davis and Meyer develop some provocative possibilities. Instead, you may need to think of yourself more as a free agent. Blur is well organized, the analyses thoughtful, and the presentation entertaining. Capitalism, free and unregulated trade, free agency in sports, and open competitive markets all produce and continually renew economic best of breed.
Western civilization owes the system a great deal.
However, such Darwinian means to success for the best are equally brutal and unforgiving to the rest. Indeed, one cannot help but observe a concurrent and powerful growth in our society of initiatives that foster cooperation over competition, that espouse inclusion and diversity, and that do not measure humankind with money. Conflict already is evident in political agendas that pit economic programs against social ones, in discussions over alternatives to public schools, and in the steadily increasing financial gulf between the haves and have-nots. The potential exists for severe interactions among such social matters and their anti-matters. This may be the dark side of Blur .
