A no-graph, bullet-point-free look at how we got into this mess - and how we're gonna get out ...

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

2. let’s start by winding back the clock

3. 500 years ago people worked from home, mostly farming & fishing for food

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

5. the steam engine came along and made transporting goods much easier

6. and it also made manufacturing much more productive too

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

8. but was a shit time for children and factory workers

9. until ‘managerial capitalism’ comes along

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

11. but more of everything isn’t always good either

12. especially when it comes to easy credit

13. because too much credit makes it too easy to buy houses

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

15. they pollute the entire financial system

16. which leads the entire global economy into hot water

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

18. well, what if we combine collaboration and competition?

19. because collaborative efforts can do great things

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

21. and competition produces great results too

22. plus it’s also kinda good to get paid

23. then we get an economic model where the individual is empowered

24. because instead of being at the bottom of pile

25. the individual becomes the epicenter of their own collaborative network you

26. and has resources at their fingertips

27. to collaborate AND compete in a global markteplace

28. from home, or wherever they want

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

30. and we’re trying it at ki work come join the collaboration http://ki-work.com
