"How the Credit Crisis Could Forge a New Financial Order"
From the October 15, 2008 issue of Knowledge@Wharton, "How the Credit Crisis Could Forge a New Financial Order" predicts:
"Individuals and businesses will have a harder time getting loans in coming years, but also may be less eager to take on debt. There will be "more" financial regulation or "better" regulation, but definitely not less regulation. There will be intense efforts to see what is going on inside previously opaque areas like hedge funds, derivative markets and subsidiaries set up to evade restrictions...."The article also provides links to other related articles on the financial crisis...

digital quality of life...
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation recently published a 185-page report entitled "Digital Quality of Life: Understanding the Personal and Social Benefits of the Information Technology Revolution." Last year, the report looked at IT as the principal driver of economic growth in the U.S. and other nations. This year, the report finds that "IT is the key enabler of many, if not most, of today’s key innovations and improvements in our lives and society—from better education and health care, to a cleaner and more energy-efficient environment, to safer and more secure communities and nations."
The ITIF is a think tank "whose mission is to formulate and promote public policies to advance technological innovation and productivity internationally, in Washington and in the states."
From the ITIF web site, you can locate other research and reports on technology and IT policies. For example, a report dated September 11, 2008, compares the technology and innovation policies for the two presidential candidates, McCain and Obama.

"perkonomics"
The current October issue of the trendwatching.com newsletter discusses a phenomenon they've termed "perkonomics" --
"PERKONOMICS: A new breed of perks and privileges, added to brands' regular offerings, is satisfying consumers’ ever-growing desire for novel forms of status and/or convenience, across all industries. The benefits for brands are equally promising: from escaping commoditization, to showing empathy in turbulent times. One to have firmly on your radar in 2009."Airlines, hotels, and credit cards provide the classic examples of perk offerings, but others are possible. The article discusses the benefits to consumers; benefits to brands; examples; and the opportunities and threats involved in "perkonomics".
