One thing I disagree with though is that we've not experiences this before. In "Good Strategy, Bad Strategy" by Richard P. Rumelt, Richard writes that in the past century we've had, in OECD countries, 20-30 busts. And each of them we've recovered from. The current one might be the biggest yet, but there's nothing inherent in this one that forces us to change anything, really. I hope something changes – and there are forces that can create change – but...
One thing I am also a big believer in is that there will be more and more leisure time for many of us. That is a global development over the past 100 years I believe, and i think it will continue into a Star Trek like world where many of us choose what to do, rather than being 'forced'.
I'm currently thinking about what that will mean for us all, especially when it comes to taking meaningful action rather than using the extra time (only) for entertainment and chores. I'd love to hear more about what forces you see that can help us all to do more of the stuff that gives us meaning.
Thanks for these on-point reflections.
