A User's Guide to 21st Century Economics - Umair Haque.

Brilliant stuff by Umair Haque - A must read!  Quote

• Tomorrow will not be like yesterday. This is no mere recession: it's a tectonic global shift in savings, consumption, and investment.
• 20th century business isn't fit for 21st century economics. Yesterday's businesses were built for a world of overconsumption, artificially cheap production, symmetrical competition, and macroeconomic stability. That was yesterday.
• Tomorrow's market leaders have new DNA. We've spent the last year identifying next-generation leaders - from the Obama campaign to Google to Threadless to Zara - and learning from them. They look and feel radically different because they were built for 21st century economics, not 20th century economics.
