Building a ‘Triple Bottom Line’ economy with full spectrum employment
February 1, 2010 at 9:00 am by annkramer
triple_bottom_lineWe’ve done it before and it’s time to do it again. From the agricultural to the industrial and now the knowledge/service, it’s time to transition to a Triple Bottom Line Economy with full spectrum employment.
Remember when 80% of Americans worked on small farms? Of course you don’t. But if the date was 1898, you’d most likely be working on a farm and thinking this is the best way for the economy to run. Unbeknownst to you, you were part of the last gasp of the Agricultural economy and within 40 years, only 3% of Americans would be working on farms and 80% would be connected to the new economy – the industrial/consumer economy.
Fast forward 100 years and here we are again. In 2010, 70% of Americans work in the industrial/consumer economy. Unknown to most, we are part of the last gasp of the industrial/consumer economy. Within 10 years, a much smaller number will be working in this area while the grand majority will be connected to the new, new economy: the post-industrial- knowledge/service economy.

I'm reading Jared Diamond's "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed" for a class right now, so this caught my eye. Very interesting article.

This is an awesome article and plainly sums up the primary hindrance to environmental sustainability, our all-consuming economy and its exploitation of natural resources. As the article stated, it's hard to imagine what the next economy/world will look like, but it seems like a much better place, and it's exciting to live in a time of great change.
