from credit crisis to collaborative capitalism 30 slides to reassure you that all is not lost ...

let’s start by winding back the clock

500 years ago people worked from home, mostly farming & fishing for food

then people started selling goods all over the world to a global market

the steam engine came along and made transporting goods much easier

and it also made manufacturing much more productive too

the industrial revolution was a great time for banks (except in the 30s)

but was a shit time for children and factory workers

until ‘managerial capitalism’ comes along

and everyone gets more of everything (at least that’s the idea)

but more of everything isn’t always good either

especially when it comes to easy credit

because too much credit makes it too easy to buy houses

and when banks start packaging, insuring and selling ‘toxic’ mortgages

they pollute the entire financial system

which leads the entire global economy into hot water

so the big question is: where do we go from here?

well, what if we combine collaboration and competition?

because collaborative efforts can do great things

(sometimes even better than people who get paid for their time)

and competition produces great results too

plus it’s also kinda good to get paid

then we get an economic model where the individual is empowered

because instead of being at the bottom of pile

the individual becomes the epicenter of their own collaborative network you

and has resources at their fingertips

to collaborate AND compete in a global markteplace

from home, or wherever they want

you could call it ‘Collaborative Capitalism’ TO DO: * Col Cap logo * buy milk
