RE: Welcome to the Age of Decentralization, Part 2: Here, Have Some Predictions!
Thanks to your inspiring post I had the thought right now that decentralization is the answer to what we call globalization. The cool thing about that: there hasn't to be a contradiction in both things. Growing together by decentralization... to me that sounds like a goody! I wish everybody and especially governments could see it that way.
I totally agree with you. In a way, decentralization is the other (better) path to globalization. There are two things that people mean when they use the term "globalization": a consolidation of power to a smaller and smaller group of elites, OR the increase in social and economic connections among individuals around the world. One of those is bad, and one is good. Decentralization is the way to the good kind of globalization, while centralization is the way to the bad kind.
Wow! I wouldn't have been able to put that in words like that! Great definition!
