A New Mindset for Rebuilding Our Economy

President-elect Barack Obama has announced his intention to restart the
American economy with hundreds of billions in new spending on
transportation, public works and energy.
But what worked during the Great Depression may not work quite
as well today.
Restarting economic growth this time around will require a new social
and economic framework that is in line with the new idea-driven
economy.
The trouble is: We remain trapped in the mental models of the old
industrial economy.
The way out of the current crisis involves creating the social and
economic conditions within which the new system can evolve.
The first step must be to reduce demand for the core products
and lifestyle of the old order.
