Interesting concept , AIM, . I see parallels with some of what I am covering in my next book "Collaboration Dawn" which looks at alternatives to the current unsubstainable status quo in an increasingly interconnected, resource limited planet. My book ,however, is aimed at assisting a paradigm shift in the layman rather than academics and other professionals which will hopefully be catered for by more detailed companion notes to each chapter. Looking forward to reading more of your work
big isnt the consistent enemy or constrainer or skewer of development, small isnt the friend of development unless they get on some feasible track. you mention entrepreneurs generating new markets, but clearly state capacity also plays a role, and less clearly perhaps ethic systems - thinking and practice that procreates persons with stable psychic-emotion brain structure that are consequently able to be productive - also plays a role. Are Akamatsu, Lin Yifu or Carlos Peres stricken with industrial machine thinking? if polytunity can draw small guys into change that substantially increases persons and countries' participation in the human journey great!! but structural analysis and adjustment of structures might also help. Structural adjustment of labor to automation (or to export material processing or to industrialization if 'what you have' is less), adjustment of state capacity from crude keynesian bounded agencies to wider and precise provision of non commercial infrastructure, adjustment of ethic signal from liberal imposition of ethical neutrality to amplifying the sources of ethics - families (parental time), functional education, senior ethic systems discourse (religions and materialism) and defunding sources of soft nihilism - universities, NGO, and governance.
