A
battle is under way for the new economy. Which side are you on?

March - 2000- Built
To Last - (press
here) Fast Company -- The new economy is about unlimited opportunity,
democracy in the workplace, and a commitment to link financial rewards
to individual contribution and effort. Increasingly, though, the
new economy is also about economic inequality, rampant opportunism in the
marketplace, and a troubling disconnect between unreal financial rewards
and any individual's real contribution and effort.

March - 2000 - Built
to Flip by Jim Collins (press
here) Fast Company -- Built to Flip. An intriguing idea: No need
to build a company, much less one with enduring value. Today, it's enough
to pull together a good story, to implement the rough draft of an idea,
and -- presto! -- instant wealth. No need to bother with the time-honored
method of most self-made millionaires: to create substantial value by working
diligently over an extended period. In the built-to-flip world, the notion
of investing persistent effort in order to build a great company seems,
well, quaint, unnecessary -- even stupid.

(press
here) -Salon News- "Behind (and beneath) every Internet gazillionaire
is an army of downtrodden "NetSlaves." By Janelle Brown
""NetSlaves,"
a bitter little pill of a book that champions those pathetic losers who
aren't rich, well-rested or at all happy with their lot in life. Produced
by the disgruntled duo of Bill Lessard and Steve Baldwin, "NetSlaves: True
Tales of Working the Web" surveys the nocturnal and underpaid: the customer
support crews that slog through ever-growing piles of e-mail queries; the
night-shift manager in charge of monitoring smutty chats; the product manager
who loses it after one insane deadline and bullying boss too many."
