New Rules for the New Economy
by
Kevin Kelly (Goodreads Author)
Forget supply and demand. Forget computers. The old rules are broken. Today, communication, not computation, drives change. We are rushing into a world where connectivity is everything, and where old business know-how means nothing. In this new economic order, success flows primarily from understanding networks, and networks have their own rules. In New Rules for the New E...more

KEVIN KELLY was Executive Editor for Wired magazine in 1998 when he wrote this book. What he wrote then is coming to pass today with the advent of the RFID chip technology, the so-called "Internet of Things," and much more.

This has potential to be studied as a typical "dot com" era opus on the great new world that was lying ahead of us. As all books of it's kind, it is rich in far fetching generalizations and thin on great ideas.
“Network will drive the new economy” is what Kevin Kelly has tried to emphasize in this title. Whether it is a network of dumb things or a network of human beings.Organizations which will understand the intricacies of network and invest in it will survive in the world where everything is in a flux and nothing is constant .Ten profound rules which are going to revolutionize the way business will be done in the twenty first century are well cited in the book which I have documented in my blog.
