Capital in the XXI century is found in the Second Machine Age and optimistic this stunning tour de force on the promise and danger of the digital economy, one of the most brilliant social critics of our time.

Digital technology was supposed to usher in a new era of endless prosperity, but so far it has been used to put industrial capitalism on steroids, which makes it more difficult for people and businesses to keep up. Social networks deliver their initial mission more immediately profitable data mining, while the brokerage house to give the value of the investment for the algorithms that drain our market and 401Ks alike - all tactics driven by the need to stoke growth by any means necessary. Rather than take this opportunity to re-program our economy for sustainability, we doubled down on growth as its core team. We have reached the limits of this approach. We must avoid the trap of growth, once and for all # 160.

Media scholar and author Rushkoff technology - one of today's most original and influential thinkers - argues in favor of the new economic program, which uses a unique distribution power of the Internet, breaking free of the winner-take-all system of leaf growth trap in his wake. Based on the sources of both contemporary and historical, Rushkoff pioneered a new understanding of the old economic paradigm, the central currency corporate debt and labor.

Instead of boycotting Wal-Mart or overtaxing the rich, we just implement strategies that create value other than themselves stakeholders. From our currency to our workforce in corporations, every aspect of the economy can be reprogrammed with minimal damage to create a more equitable distribution of prosperity for all.

Inspiring and challenging Traps growth provides a pragmatic, optimistic, and a man, a model of economic progress in the digital age.
