Can The Natural Enterprise Save The World?

I haven’t read all these links yet, this post is partly so I don’t lose what looks like some very interesting reading.

Richard MacManus links to this interesting article by Dave Pollard exhorting the creative types in knowledge management and IT to embrace entrepreneurship as a way to solve the world’s problems. A rather bold claim, but it appeals to me as that’s one of the long-term aims of my entrepreneurial venture.

From there, I found links to another of Dave’s essays, A Prescription For Business Innovation: Creating Technologies That Solve Basic Human Needs, and also Natural Enterprise, the majority of his upcoming book in online form. I have a feeling this will make an interesting companion read to the next book on my reading pile, The Ecology of Commerce.
