Status, Wealth, & Power: Network Effects Demand A New Social Contract

A Company’s Social Contract With Its Labor Supply

Citizens will embrace the network economy and not cling to the scale effect economy of the industrial world, so our governments shouldn’t either. The scale economy will not go away, but it’s going to become a smaller part of life and the economy, like agriculture did in the industrial era.

In return, the company will:

1. Give ownership.


2. Let people defect.

Society’s Social Contract with Its Citizens

1. You will give up your privacy.


2. If you’re willing and able, you will have a job.

Transparency and data provide ruthless meritocracy.
