Description
Media marketing expert Jim Mann foresees the end of top heavy, centralized bureaucracies in favor of global communities based upon the virtues of the family - such as, amiable decision-making, a balance of benefits and responsibilities, concern about the welfare of all its members, and sharing ideas freely. The author predicts that the ever increasing volume and accessibility of information will eventually bring down some of the Western world's most entrenched paradigms in society, culture and politics. Tomorrow's global community will consist of a wide array of private partnerships eventually replacing the nation-state. The corporate and business shell will begin to atrophy as a new gift economy replaces it, promising a free flow of information and knowledge rather than the adherence to a bottom-line mentality centered about intellectual property rights and profit motives. This optimistic view of the future is based upon events now occurring. It may take many years for the new global community finally to emerge, yet as more and more information creates uncertainty, confusion, and mistrust in central authority, the sooner partnership networks will replace existing institutions.
