The Support Economy Why Corporations Are Failing Individuals and The Next Episode of Capitalism Hardback - 2002

de James Maxmin

A dazzling blend of business vision, history, social psychology, and economics, The Support Economy starts with a compelling premise

In recent years, many books have offered fixes for this crisis, but they have dealt only with its symptoms. The Support Economy is the first book to critically examine its cause: Managerial capitalism has outlived the society it was once designed to serve. It successfully achieved the efficient production of goods and services, but today's individuals want more. They want to take their lives into their own hands and are ready to pay for the support and advocacy necessary to fulfill that yearning. The next leap forward in wealth creation depends upon developing a new capitalism that speaks to the needs of people today. The Support Economy will be the next "must read" big think book. It speaks to every business and technology leader, as well as every reader interested in the future of the economy and society.
