9/10/2009

Dynamism or Stasis?  Are you moving forward with reform or just waiting for the market economy to magically get better?
Words from a Cassandra warning us to keep moving, keep dreaming - we must still want to be surprised... even in these bad economic times:
 
“How we feel about the evolving future tells us about who we are as individuals and as a civilization: Do we search for stasis—a regulated, engineering world? Or do we embrace dynamism, a world of constant creation, discovery, and competition? Do we crave predictability, or relish surprise?”
 
(Virginia Postrel, The Future and Its Enemies: The Growing Conflict over Creativity, Enterprise, and Progress. Touchstone, 1998).
