A key difference between the 20th and 21st centuries: From "How?" to "Why"
1) Fron "How?" to "Why?"
2) The Era of "Why?"
In the 20th century, the key question (in business, technology, decision making of all kinds) was "how".
In the 21st, I argue that the key question is "why".
Why?
Because the parameters of the system are changing. In many areas, full capacity conditions are being reached.
In reaching decisions of all kinds, businesses and other organisations, as well as people (individuals), are confronted with new parameters and constraints.
Opportunity costs (of doing one thing vs. another) are changing too.
Problems are becoming more complex, priorities are shifting.
Strategy and philosophy will become more important, as solutions become much more customised, reflecting the personal priorities of individuals or the individual priorities of each organisation.
More and more "one solution fits all" will be a less and less relevant ... solution.

my theory on the causes of the crisis
In short: The real economy has been suffocating for decades in Europe and even the US. That is why investors focused on dotcoms & then on subprimes.
This is an audio (MP3) version of my theory re "the causes of the crisis" as I presented it on October 23, 2008 (then in video format, I have extracted the audio from that):
two options:
1. YouTube video (audio mainly)
2. pure audio (free to download)
