MODULE: Strategic Design in New Economies
PROJECT- Map the New Economies
An individual project, to create a ‘map’ of the origin and trajectory of the New Economies. “A map is not the territory it represents, but, if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness.”
The timeline reflects my interpretation of the key dates, events, figures that have led to the new economy. As with the debate about when the Anthropocene began, when did the “new economy” come into being? Was it a post 2008 recession phenomenon, or were the seeds of it born in the early days of the internet, the 1960s counterculture or perhaps the gift economies (potlatches) of native american peoples? Can we see new economic activity in pre-industrial or barter markets of the middle ages.
