Brewed Fresh Daily

I joined the FC listserv for The Support Economy after reading this post on Fast Company Now which says "John Maloney recently announced the organization of a new group called Support Economy Ventures that aims to bring together a community of entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, 'deep support professionals,' and other business leaders working to develop the next chapter in capitalism. From the listserv's homepage:

The Support Economy discussion group seeks voices for change. 20th century capitalism and its business models are in a downward spiral. A new capitalism for our times -- and new business models -- are only beginning to emerge. As consumers, we are frustrated and mistrustful. As employees, we are resentful and exhausted. How can we jump the curve from the old world to the new? Can we invent a new commerce that honors the complexity and uniqueness of our lives today? Can we reignite the engines of wealth creation? Those who figure this out will make a lot of money and make the world a better place. Inspired by the work of Shoshana Zuboff, Fast Company contributing writer, Harvard Business School professor, and author of The Support Economy , the discussion aims to bring together people from every industry and profession who recognize that values realize value. The next era of wealth creation depends on business models that embody trust and advocacy, in which each individual is recognized as the ultimate source of economic value. We'll explore the notions of distributed capitalism and the support economy. We'll share information about businesses moving into this space and examine the new purpose and vision for technology. We'll consider careers, management, and leadership in this new world. The discussion will be supported by Meetup, which will enable participants to meet up where they live and plan physical events. Answer the call to action. Add your voice. Change the world.

Yep. That resonates with me. What about you?
