Re-Constructing the Global Network Economy: Building Pathways to Resilience in Local Economies

Using real-life case studies throughout, the book presents a lucid, yet critical, analysis of the manner in which inter-locking changes in business and politics are leading to social-economic changes which will benefit some while excluding others. Develops a model of how networks can be designed, structurally and conceptually, so that the local may flourish connected to the global. Provides a strategic understanding of the forces driving the new economy and proposes concrete ways forward.
