Just when it seemed that Washington was getting back to “normal,” President Obama’s most cherished accomplishment, The Affordable Health Care Act, exploded on the launch pad. Love or hate it, in the history of The United States of America, no federal program crashed, burned and bombed as badly as “Obamacare.” From day one, the nearly billion-dollar...

Social media and the Internet technologies that have enabled them constitute the largest disruptions to business communications since Gutenberg’s invention of the press. These technologies are bringing with them new approaches to the creation of value, and transforming the relationships between the creators of goods and services and those who consume them.

Nothing new about social media…
We’ve always had social media. Sitting around a campfire telling stories is fundamentally social, with the air around our heads being the medium carrying human voices. Denizens of 16th-century Florence and Rome were known to tie notes to sculptures, expressing their approval or criticism — creating what were, perhaps, some of the earliest bulletin boards....

No need for NATO

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was established on April 4, 1949, as a defensive alliance whose purpose was to defend Western Europe in the event of a Soviet invasion. As NATO’s first secretary general put it, NATO was formed in order to keep the Russians out of Western Europe...

Empire America is fading fast
“Empire America Fading Fast.” I wrote that forecast for the Trends Journal in 2002. It almost cost me my career and nearly killed the Journal. After publication of that autumn issue, I was blackballed by the broadcast and print media that had once regularly featured me, my subscription base collapsed and I was persona non...

My brush with history: Becoming a political atheist
Fifty years have passed since the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. Everyone old enough to remember that day recalls where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. I’ve developed the habit of searching the news every November 22 to see how the Kennedy assassination...
