Networked globalization and Economic inertia:
the Networked economy is an economy without intermediaries.
It is a production network that directly connects billions of people.
Makes it profitable-to reduce the cost of information direct trade and industrial contacts – between people.
Globalization is global contacts and specialization.
the Speedy global economic growth appears to be consistent with the Network of globalization.
That is – roughly speaking?:
the Europeans of their own obsolete equipment not utilized, and passed on in developing countries.
Modern information network allows you to sell each second-hand kettle, each second-hand machine.
In Europe, the second-hand machine is utilized for the price of scrap metal in Nigeria-a value that can prevent starvation.
At the same time, it is more profitable for Europeans not to introduce new machines everywhere, but to work as "trainers"-trainers of Nigerians, and to use products by Nigerians, not by Europeans themselves.
Why does the market not provide a rich sale of used machines in Nigeria, and a rich remote mentoring - if it is profitable? -
- Because of the Economic inertia.
Economic inertia is the main brake on development and the main threat to humanity – now, with a large population - because it increases the volatility of Civilization.
Illustration-example: global catastrophe:
For example, a super volcano explosion can kill a billion people.
On the other hand, modern technology makes it possible to feed 10 billion people without electricity, and, most importantly, such technologies can be deployed so quickly that people do not have time to eat their food supplies.
But it is – theoretically. In reality, a billion people will die.
The reason is Economic inertia.
Economic inertia is a strong lag between economic reality and opportunities.
it is Surprising why Economic inertia is not only not adequately explored, but there is not even such a scientific term!
Actually used equipment sales markets from France to Nigeria, and mentoring-exist.
But they are – strongly non-saturated.
the Reason for this is the lack of technological planning.
First, there is the benefit, the market need for Internet-based direct selling tools, like Amazon.
Then they begin to develop. There is a market demand for relevant programmers.
Software firms begin to feverishly seek and to retrain programmers.
Amazon, by the way, is a very imperfect industrial tool.
Nigerian stone axes were more developed-like axes.
example-analogy: Caravan of ships:
The next ship in the caravan, having discovered that its neighbor is turning around, begins to turn around too to avoid a collision.
Although the optimal would be a reversal of the caravan "all of a sudden."
the Cause of economic inertia is a consistent rather than a parallel change in market sectors.
from "socialist" experiment - more harm:
the Communist party was compromised, among other things, and planning.
Although technological planning in the USSR was absent at all.
If there were rudiments of it, it is in the firms of "chaotic" Europe.
However, in Europe-their brakes. - Corporations do not benefit from the change of generations of equipment - until the previous competitors are forced.
Technological conspiracy – worse shopping.
Modern information technologies give 2 advantages:
1. Network economy. - Corporations will not stand the competition of the "Garage" production network,
2. The cheapening of the process simulation. In the sense of forecasting.
the Factor of cost optimization is, in turn, the optimal prediction method of the inventions to the invention.
