The Collapse of Complex Business Models
I gave a talk last year to a group of TV executives gathered for an annual conference.

Why No Jobs
Around the time of the Great Depression, a man named John Maynard Keynes made an incredible discovery.

He had them rename their spambot from “searchclick” to “stub”, thinking a less obvious name would throw off anyone looking into the spam situation. Very…
