The System Isn’t Broken

What if the system isn’t broken, what if it’s the wrong system?

What if the industrial revolution is over?

What if the system we require has absolutely nothing to do with the Keynesian model, an industrialist’s model of economics?

Stephen Covey used to refer to having the wrong map. What if that is exactly what’s going on at the moment?

Maybe it’s not that the system is broken, it’s quite simply a totally and utterly inappropriate system. It’s the wrong system for where we are going.

If we start from the premise that the current system doesn’t need to be fixed that it has, indeed, passed its expiry date, then we can rather focus on creating a new system, one that no one has the exact map for.

If we do that then we can stop pushing to make a square peg fit in a triangular hole.

We can focus all our effort on the positive pursuit of discovering, plotting and creating a system that will lead us to a better future, a better world.

Sometimes, you have to drop the entire operating system and load a new one.
