Dumb growth. Time for smart.

Egypt’s Revolution: Coming to an Economy Near You – Umair Haque – Harvard Business Review.

Umair Haque writes in the Harvard Business Review of the decoupled relationship between economic growth and the things that make living feel good. The bubbling levels of youth unemployment, rising food and resource cost and bleak prospects are connected to the rising level of dissatisfaction with a generation of leaders who built an economy and social structure on foundations of sand.

Falling retail sales, falling mortgages applications, unaffordable housing, rising food costs….

It’s time for some deep innovation to bump the train of planning and action back onto the right track. Watch Alistair McIntosh, Gerd Leonhard, Gabriel Branby, Alice Holden and Maggie Doyne for an inside track.

Time to Do.
