We quote the following from an interview with the Basel-based entrepreneur Georg Hasler:
„"Mr. Hasler, why does our economic system need to change?"
I believe we are in a state of great confusion. We live with the thought patterns and laws of an industrial society in the midst of an information society. This doesn't fit together and is a hindrance because information and ideas, especially regarding their propagation, have completely different properties than objects. Therefore, we shouldn't treat ideas like objects but rather develop a new economic system that utilizes this potential. http://hannesgrassegger.twoday.net/stories/5599723/
If our thinking is still stuck in yesterday's world, while the processes we have to deal with have already taken on entirely different forms, then we have problems—self-inflicted problems. This can be illustrated once again with the simple example of car tires. We drive on highly technical products; today's car tires are hardly comparable to the iron-rimmed spoked wheels of a carriage from 1892. And yet we often act as if we were driving on iron tires. In this respect, our thinking is still stuck in the 19th century. Let's give car tires what they desperately need: let's give them air, the correct air pressure! Then the tires can function properly and help us get through critical situations.
