IMPORTANT / INTERESTING IDEAS
IDEAs are essential for a better world ... and there are many of them!

IDEAS
The world is not short of IDEAS, but very few move beyond being an idea even to the next stage of being an INITIATIVE. In many case an IDEA may be associated with many different people. Sometimes an IDEA can be very powerful, but most IDEAS fail to get much traction.

|
|
Club Goods (see also Private Goods)
Club goods are those goods that are exclusive and non-rival, meaning multiple entities can use it without diminishing its value (e.g. viewing a movie / sharing knowledge).
Private goods are those goods that are exclusive and rival, meaning only one entity can own and use it (e.g. a bushel of wheat) as it is diminished in value in use.

Leverage Points
| |
Leverage points / Jason Clay / WWF
Jason Clay of the World Wildlife Foundation gave a TED talk in 2010 at Oxford that told the story of how the protection of the environment needed to be leveraged by getting major companies to be the agent for change. There is an embedded copy fo the TED talk and a series of screen shots out,ining the steps in the process. This is important because the line of thought is very similar to the TVM thinking ... though without the TVM step of adding in a system of metrics to account for the accomplishments or lack of them.

TPB note 170715: Very well thought out argument ... but without associated metrics, difficult to get the traction for implementation that is needed!

Prosperity Economics: Building an Economy for All ... Jacob S. Hacker and Nate Loewentheil
TPB comment: A lot of this is good, but it is conventional in that it 'growth' remains the core driver of the economy as it must be as long as the singular metrics for progress are those of money profit, money wealth and GDP. With growth there can more money based prosperity but without sustainability.
