Dear Old People Who Run the World,
My generation would like to break up with you.
Everyday, I see a widening gap in how you and we understand the world -- and what we want from it. I think we have irreconcilable differences.
You wanted big, fat, lazy "business." We want small, responsive, micro-scale commerce.
You turned politics into a dirty word. We want authentic, deep democracy -- everywhere.
You wanted financial fundamentalism. We want an economics that makes sense for people -- not just banks.
You wanted shareholder value -- built by tough-guy CEOs. We want real value, built by people with character, dignity, and courage.
You wanted an invisible hand -- it became a digital hand. Today's markets are those where the majority of trades are done literally robotically. We want a visible handshake: to trust and to be trusted.
