A mind to hear

This name is to be wildly known by the internet-web world - i mean, us @ll - #ClayShirky is a mind blow to old-rusty concepts of human economical and social interaction. Economist, he might matter even more as a #Levi-Strauss or a guru of the digital world.

I've prepared a brief compilation of his works bellow. The range of issues is enormous, but all linked to the ways we interact online, in group and in global touch.

HERE COMES EVERYBODY - book

Clay Shirky - A transformation on the access and meaning of information. An overview. - article

Facebook and twitter are changing the Middle East - video

Highly recomended!

The Builders' Manifesto

Umair Haque is one of those inspiring guys that old style universities have fostered.
Courageous, sharp, insightful.

Borrowing Marx well-known 'Manifesto' term - also the name of his latest book. Umair spreads many cards at the table, applying new concepts to business when differentiating Leader from Builder.

A passionate Capitalism critic with almost messianic predictions. But do not misunderstand what he stands for, his goal is not to bury Capitalism, but to save it.

Umair is a London-based consultant, author and economist, graduated in Neuroscience, with MBA at London Business School and PhD at University of Oxford.
