Robert- "unorganization" is a philosophy that is preoccupied wth exactly
these sorts of questions- what mechanims remove structural barriers and
thereby allow people to maximize their human potential.
It is my view that the 19th century organized systems such as
organizations, employment, political government, offices and so on are no
longer optimal nor necessary for the 21st century- instead the environment
will be one in which entrepreneurs, teleworkers, collapsible corporations
and so on pre-dominate and dominate.
