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

Umair Haque's Jan.7/09 piece, self-explanatory title. Lots of great ideas - and something about the reference to "symmetrical competition" made me think of Greg Lynn's rejection of symmetry in architecture (to maximize resources) and also of how waste is a major 21st c. trope.
