A good point from Tom Peters about how statistics are used / measured as part of the US economic "story". I'm sure the same points are valid over here in the UK / Europe.
Tom links to an article in Business Week which investigates what's really going on in the knowledge-based economy - compared to "standard" economic indicators such as GDP / Savings / Trade deficits etc.
These measures were appropriate in the early part of last century - but are they a true reflection of the current R & D investments that globalisation, outsourcing, IP etc. have introduced into the equation?
It's a different world - so maybe we need a different view here? How long before you hear or read something as sensible as this in MSM UK (I'm guessing 12-18 months)?
(...not sure what the hell this has to do with marketing and design? But I think it's interesting!)
