I've seen a lot of folk actively wondering about the current financial crisis, and while I don't pretend to know everything about it, I've been reading Umair Haque's work for the past couple of years. He's one of the folk who have been predicting that this day would come, and he's got a really interesting "five-step construction kit for tomorrow's revolutionaries."

There's no way for me to summarize his position without really reducing it badly, but he's talking about a radical shift in the way businesses operate and economies function, and it makes for fascinating reading, especially given our current economic circumstances. What I understand of it, I owe largely to his work...
