The imagination economy
Source: Fortune
Our economy is booming, but our wages? Stagnant. Traditionally, the prescription is to urge greater achievement in science and technology. But a growing number of thinkers say that's old school. Instead "the very basis of value creation is shifting from the disciplines of logic and linear thinking to the intuitive, nonlinear processes of creativity and imagination." Tech advances will cease to confer much competitive advantage as they circle the world almost instantly. Witness the (what else?) iPod. Luckily imagination may just be America's greatest strength. It's time to think different...about everything.
