3. Organisations and ideas: couple of quotes “… To be organised we no longer always need an organisation, certainly not one with a formal hierarchy...” “… Markets trade products; Ideas do not live in the minds of individuals but through a constant circulation as gifts. In the century to come well being will come to depend less on what we own and consume and more on what we can share with others and create together, especially as consumption becomes increasingly constrained by environmental concerns that mean we have to live more within collectively binding limits…” http://www.charlesleadbeater.net/cms/xstandard/ChapterOne.pdf
