In an earlier article, You Are Being Exploited!,
I promised to expand upon the thoughts written there as they relate to a new
paradigm of economic and political thought.
In that article I put forward the premise that the
transition from an industrial economy to an information economy was obviating
the historical linkage between physical labor and economic rewards. Rather, to
an ever increasing extent, every individual, to varying degrees, was
contributing information to the system. That information was being translated
into knowledge which was ultimately applied as technology accelerating economic
growth. For that contribution they
should be compensated.
