Graphic: Recalculation Theory

Jessica Hagy calls her splendid and evocative piece of graphic as “Somebody has to do something!

Whereas my interpretation of this is Professor Arnold Kling’s Recalculation Theory.

This excerpt From Professor Kling,

``if the old patterns of specialization and trade are not sustainable, the economy faces the Recalculation Problem. New patterns of specialization and trade need to be created. While the economy is creating new patterns even in good times, when it faces a Recalculation Problem it cannot create new patterns rapidly enough to prevent widespread unemployment.” (emphasis original)

In the transition to the information age, the new pattern of specialization and trade is the discovery process called as the “seed of the start up”!
