JP draws on Paul Graham’s and W Brian Arthur’s essays and the impact on Wealth Creation in The Second Economy by Maker Generation
Consider, current IPO’s and Facebook are companies who help people spend time rather than save time, the second economy may be all about who creates and who owns attention streams?
FT’s Gillian Tett wrote: Men, women - and machines.
Inspired by a thought-provoking piece written in the latest McKinsey Quarterly, W. Brian Arthur, an esteemed economist, scientist and visiting scholar at the PARC, thinks its crucial thing to understand about these new digitised machines. Brian argues that since 1990, we are not just automating human processes; but these machines have been communicating with each other and interacting with decreasing human oversight.
The net result is the rise of a second, digitised economy, which is operating alongside the real human world; and threatening to change our economy in profound ways.

On the surface, Malcolm Gladwell’s latest article for The New Yorker, “Creation Myth: Xerox PARC, Apple, and the truth about innovation“, is a story about the mouse and how inventions travel – and evolve – across time and place. But examined more deeply, the article is really about the factors that determine whether you end up with an invention or an innovation.
Every person joining us is expected to evolve through the different stages: from employee to pre-partner and finally to partner, a co-owner of the company.
