Jon Husband’s Wirearchy is quoting from The Support Economy email group discussion springing from the Shoshana Zuboff and James Maxmin book by same name. This is the first I’ve heard of the phrase, the book or the list. I think I’m going to like all three. Surely this is some of what I’ve been fishing for as the space beyond command-and-control, dominance-seeking hierarchy, local-global and us-them distinctions.
Language like support, mutuality, and changing from the inside out is very much in line with what I’ve been thinking about recently in terms of compassion, bodies, markets and OpenSpaceTech. The notion of corporation and economy as support is totally in line with the SomaticOrganization story we started spinning last year. The first of many connections to be made here.
