![]() ![]() ![]() This book talks a lot about governance models and how people can organize to make better organizations: political, business, and non-profit. Some of these networks will rely heavily on technology, as Kickstarter does while others will be built using older tools of community and communication, including that timeless platform of humans gathering in the same room and talking to one another. When a need arises in society that goes unmet, our first impulse should be to build a peer network to solve that problem. To be a peer progressive, then, is to believe that the key to continued progress lies in building peer networks in as many regions of modern life as possible: in education, health care, city neighborhoods, private corporations, and government agencies. What is a “peer progressive”? Steven Johnson, in Future Perfect, describes a person who is neither right-wing nor left-wing, ignoring the labels of 20th century politics, and one who embraces the power of networks for the betterment of society. ![]()
