No real value, means no true wealth. And our ability to create value has been hammered by this financial meltdown, but, in truth, has been eroding for years. That can’t go on forever, though.

New business models for media require entirely new exchanges of value — it’s not about finding new ways to balance the old equation. – Scott Karp, Publishing 2.0

Print, as I’ve been saying since the days of Wired, will continue in the digital age, but it will have to pass new tests of value before it can survive. - John Battelle, Searchblog

The value of present real wealth is no longer sufficient to serve as a lien to guarantee the exploding debt. Consequently the debt is being devalued in terms of existing wealth. – Herman Daly, quoted by Tim O’Reilly, O’Reilly Radar

(emphasis mine)

This break in the value equation is (one reason) why Silicon Valley has gone relatively silent.

WHAT an opportunity to create change and do well, yes?
