The Information Age and the Knowledge Economy
If you read my profile you know I have many interests. Not the least of which is the one I have developed in economics over the last twenty years. The changes happening so rapidly are both fascinating yet frightening. Fascinating because we live in a world of many transitions and frightening because we all need to be exposed to and discuss how we are being impacted.
One thing for sure, the new global economy is being constructed and we all need to participate and provide feedback in the building process. To this end, we at coneXions will be starting a speakers service where we will provide presenters on these and other topics for which I will post information soon. I am hoping we can begin and sustain an ongoing discussion about this and other related topics like globalization, the impact of technology, the digital divide, modern business models, eMarketing, eCommerce etc.
In the meantime, check out one of the most interesting sites I have found . This site is hosted by David Warsh who is the author of "Knowledge and the Wealth of Nations"-one of the Top 10 Best Selling Non-fiction Books of 2006 and contains insightful information on economics.

About Me
- Anastacio
- I have been speaking, reading about and researching the knowledge economy for the last seventeen years. I am passionate about what businesses’ and enterprises’ must do in order to compete in the Age of Information. I was part of corporate business for twenty-six years all in educational publishing. I worked for both basal textbooks and supplemental publishers. They included such giants as Scott, Foresman-now Pearson, Simon and Schuster, Scholastic Inc. and Harcourt where I served as a Vice-President. Before publishing, I was an English and History Teacher at the high school level. I earned an M.A, in history. Today, I am associated with a firm providing technology enabled resources to small and medium-sized businesses in the U.S. and in Mexico. My knowledge of and interest in being able to study a businesses' value chain and analyze that structure in light of modern business models and the means of information substitution for inputs, gives me an ability beyond most competitive advantages found with any other person today-if you include my bilingual-English/Spanish-capabilities. I do public speaking on the Information Age and the Knowledge Economy.
