In Store: International Equality, Intranational Inequality
“The new organization of society implied by the triumph of individual autonomy and the true equalization of opportunity based upon merit will lead to very great
rewards for merit and great individual autonomy. This will leave individuals far more responsible for
themselves than they have been accustomed to being during the industrial period. It will also reduce the
unearned advantage in living standards that has been enjoyed by residents of advanced industrial societies
throughout the 20th century.”
James Davidson & William Rees-Mogg,The Sovereign Individual

“China has become a manufacturing hub for the rest of the world in low-end labor-intensive goods—and the
rest of the world is becoming a manufacturing hub for China in high-end, capital-intensive goods. …
China may be a threat to certain parts of the global supply chain that rely on low-cost labor, but it
represents an even greater opportunity via production-efficiency gains, economic welfare gains and long-term dynamic potential. Its booming exports are more than matched by booming industrial imports and foreign investment opportunities. It has become
the new engine of global growth.”Source: Glen Hodgson & Mark Worrall/Export Development Canada, in “China Takes

“The new century risks being overrun by both anarchy and technology. The two great destroyers of history may reinforce each other. Both the spread of
terrorism and weapons of mass destruction point to a world in which Western governments are losing control. The spread of the technology of mass
destruction represents a potentially massive redistribution of power away from the advanced industrial (and democratic) states and toward smaller
states that may be less stable and have less of a stake in an orderly world; or more dramatically still, it may represent a redistribution of power away from
the state itself and towards individuals, that is to say terrorists or criminals. In the past to be damaging, an ideological movement had to be widespread to
recruit enough support to take on authority. Henceforth, comparatively small groups will be able to do the sort of damage which before only state armies or
major revolutionary movements could achieve. A few fanatics with a ‘dirty bomb’ or biological weapons will be able to cause death on a scale not
previously envisaged. … Emancipation, diversity, global communication—all of the things that promise an age of riches and creativity—could also bring a nightmare in which states lose control of the means of violence and people
lose control of their futures.”—Robert Cooper, The Breaking of Nations: Order and Chaos in the Twenty-first Century

“How we feel about the evolving future tells us who we are as individuals and as a civilization: Do we search for stasis—a regulated, engineered world? Or do we embrace dynamism—a world of constant creation,
discovery and competition? Do we value stability and control? Or evolution and learning? Do we think that progress requires a central blueprint? Or do we see it as a decentralized, evolutionary process? Do we see mistakes as permanent disasters? Or the correctable
byproducts of experimentation? Do we crave predictability? Or relish surprise? These two poles,
stasis and dynamism, increasingly define our political, intellectual and cultural landscape.” —Virginia Postrel,

“Good management was the most powerful reason [leading firms] failed to stay atop their industries. Precisely because these firms
listened to their customers, invested aggressively in technologies that would provide their customers more
and better products of the sort they wanted, and because they carefully studied market trends and
systematically allocated investment capital to innovations that promised the best returns, they lost
their positions of leadership.”

“Dawn Meyerreicks, CTO of the Defense Information Systems Agency, made one of the most fateful military calls of the 21st century. After 9/11 … her office
quickly leased all the available transponders covering Central Asia. The implications should change everything about U.S. military thinking in the
years ahead.
“The U.S. Air Force had kicked off its fight against the Taliban with an ineffective bombing campaign, and Washington was anguishing over whether to send in a few Army divisions. Donald Rumsfeld told Gen. Tommy Franks to
give the initiative to 250 Special Forces already on the ground. They used satellite phones, Predator surveillance drones, and GPS- and laser-based
targeting systems to make the air strikes brutally effective.
“In effect, they ‘Napsterized’ the battlefield by cutting out the middlemen (much of the military’s command and control) and working directly with the
real players. … The data came in so fast that HQ revised operating procedures to allow intelligence analysts and attack planners to work directly
together. Their favorite tool, incidentally, was instant messaging over a secure network.”—Ned Desmond/“Broadband’s New Killer App”/Business

“We are in the twilight of a society based on data. As information and intelligence become the domain of computers, society will place more value on the one human ability that cannot be automated: emotion.
Imagination, myth, ritual - the language of emotion - will affect everything from our purchasing decisions
to how we work with others. Companies will thrive on the basis of their stories and myths. Companies will need to understand
that their products are less important than their stories.”

“As a hunter, a man needed vision that would allow him to zero in on targets in the distance … whereas a woman needed eyes
to allow a wide arc of vision so that she could monitor any predators sneaking up on the nest. This is why modern men can find their way effortlessly to a distant pub,
but can never find things in fridges, cupboards or drawers.”

In Store: International Equality, Intranational Inequality
“The new organization of society implied by the triumph of individual autonomy and the true equalization of opportunity based upon merit will lead to very great
rewards for merit and great individual autonomy. This will leave individuals far more responsible for
themselves than they have been accustomed to being during the industrial period. It will also reduce the
unearned advantage in living standards that has been enjoyed by residents of advanced industrial societies
throughout the 20th century.”

“Self-reliance never comes ‘naturally’ to adults because they have been so
conditioned to think non-authentically that it feels wrenching to do otherwise. … Self Reliance is a last resort to which a person is driven in desperation only when he or

as his portion.’ ” —Lawrence Buell, Emerson

“Why focus on these late teens and twenty-
somethings? Because they are the first young who are both in a position to change the world, and are actually doing so. … For the first time in history,
children are more comfortable, knowledgeable and literate than their parents about an
innovation central to society. … The Internet has triggered the first industrial revolution in history
to be led by the young.”

Women’s Strengths Match New Economy Imperatives: Link [rather than rank] workers;
favor interactive-collaborative leadership style [empowerment beats top-down decision making]; sustain fruitful collaborations; comfortable with sharing information; see redistribution of power
as victory, not surrender; favor multi-dimensional feedback; value technical & interpersonal skills, individual & group contributions equally; readily accept ambiguity; honor intuition as well as pure
“rationality”; inherently flexible; appreciate cultural diversity.

“My wife and I went to a [kindergarten] parent-teacher conference and were informed that our budding

state requirement for demonstrating ‘grade-level motor

“How many artists are there in the room? Would you please raise your hands. FIRST GRADE: En masse the children leapt from their seats, arms waving. Every child was an artist. SECOND
GRADE: About half the kids raised their hands, shoulder high, no higher. The hands were still. THIRD GRADE: At best, 10 kids out
of 30 would raise a hand, tentatively, self-consciously. By the time I reached SIXTH GRADE, no more than one or two kids
raised their hands, and then ever so slightly, betraying a fear of being identified by the group as a ‘closet artist.’ The point is:
Every school I visited was participating in the suppression of creative genius.”

Ye gads: “Thomas Stanley has not only found no correlation between success in school and an
ability to accumulate wealth, he’s actually found a negative correlation. ‘It seems that school-
related evaluations are poor predictors of economic success,’ Stanley concluded. What did predict success was a willingness to take risks.
Yet the success-failure standards of most schools penalized risk takers. Most educational
systems reward those who play it safe. As a result, those who do well in school find it hard to
take risks later on.”Richard Farson & Ralph Keyes, Whoever Makes the Most Mistakes Wins

Ways to Raise a Purple Cow
Think small. One vestige of the TV-industrial complex is a need to think
mass. If it doesn’t appeal to everyone, the thinking goes, it’s not worth it. Think of the smallest conceivable
market—and describe a product that overwhelms it with remarkability. Go
from there.Source: Seth Godin, Fast Company (02.2003)

“HAVE MBAs KILLED OFF MARKETING? Prof Rajeev Batra says: ‘What these times call for is more creative
and breakthrough reengineering of product and service benefits, but we don’t train people to think like that.’ The way marketing is
taught across business schools is far too analytical and data-driven. ‘We’ve taken away the emphasis on creativity and big ideas that characterize real marketing breakthroughs.’ In India there is an added problem: most senior marketing jobs have been traditionally dominated by MBAs. Santosh Desai, vice
president, McCann Erickson, an MBA himself, believes in India engineer-MBAs, armed with this Lego-like approach, tend to reduce marketing into neat components. ‘This reductionist
thinking runs counter to the idea that great brands must have a core, unifying idea.’ ”—Businessworld/04Nov2002/“Why Is

COMPETITORS: “The best swordsman in the world doesn’t need to fear
the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a

prepared for him; he does the thing he ought not to do and often it catches the expert out and
ends him on the spot.”

“This is an essay about what it takes to create and sell something remarkable. It is a plea for originality, passion, guts and daring. You can’t be remarkable by following someone else who’s remarkable. One way to figure out a theory is to look at
what’s working in the real world and determine what the successes have in common. But what could the Four Seasons and Motel 6 possibly have in common? Or Neiman-Marcus and Wal*Mart? Or Nokia (bringing out new hardware every 30 days or so) and Nintendo (marketing the same Gameboy 14 years in a row)? It’s like trying to drive looking in the rearview mirror.
The thing that all these companies have in common is that they have nothing in common. They are outliers. They’re on the
fringes. Superfast or superslow. Very exclusive or very cheap. Extremely big or extremely small. The reason its so hard to follow the leader is this: The leader is the leader precisely
because he did something remarkable. And that remarkable thing is now taken—so it’s no longer remarkable when you
decide to do it.” —Seth Godin, Fast Company/02.2003

WEIRD IDEAS THAT WORK: (1) Hire slow learners (of the organizational code). (1.5) Hire people who make you
uncomfortable, even those you dislike. (2) Hire people you (probably) don’t need. (3) Use job interviews to get ideas, not
to screen candidates. (4) Encourage people to ignore and defy superiors and peers. (5) Find some happy people and get them to fight. (6) Reward success and failure, punish inaction.
(7) Decide to do something that will probably fail, then convince yourself and everyone else that success is certain. (8) Think of
some ridiculous, impractical things to do, then do them. (9) Avoid, distract, and bore customers, critics, and anyone who just wants to talk about money. (10) Don’t try to learn anything from people who seem to have solved the problems you face.
(11) Forget the past, particularly your company’s success.

“Until there is commitment there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless
ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence
moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it now!” —Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

others. Ever. Make another list of things done to you that you
loved. Do them to others. Always.”

“It was much later that I realized Dad’s secret. He gained respect by giving it. He
