Epigraph

With the advent of fast personal computers, digital television and high bandwidth cable and radio-frequency networks, so-called post-industrial societies stand ready for a yet deeper voyage into the "permanently ephemeral." -- Michael Benedikt, Cyberspace: First Steps

Recently I was talking to one of Japan's best foreign-exchange dealers, and I asked him to name the factors he considered in buying and selling. He said, "Many factors, sometimes very short-term, and some medium, and some long-term." I became very interested when he said he considered the long term and asked him what he meant by that time frame. He paused a few seconds and replied with genuine seriousness. "Probably ten minutes." That is the way the market is moving these days. -- Toydo Gyohten, Former vice-minister, Japanese Ministry of Finance, Changing Fortunes (with Paul Volcker)

The Fortune 500 is over. -- Peter Drucker, Fortune 500 issue, Fortune, April 20, 1992

Dedication

For: Percy Barnevik, who abhors bureaucracy; F.A. Hayek, who loved markets; Warden Dennis Luther, who respects prisoners; Hans Beck, who knows quality when he sees it; Tom Strange and Joe Tilli, Teamsters who've become world-beating salesmen; Anita Roddick, who believes joy has a place in business; Mike Walsh, who has a lot of nerve; Ted Turner, who's nuts.
