THOUGHT MARKETS FOR BETTER FUTURES “Futures belong to those idiots who create and believe in them”

Hans Zwaga

Romanian Economic Business Review, 2013, vol. 8, issue 4.1, 433-437

Abstract: The article addresses the claim that information and knowledge in rapid changing societies will need different exchange platforms or agoras. Technological and social innovations will change the information and knowledge platforms into “markets of thoughts”. Grounded in Castells’ “space of flows” a philosophical blueprint is developed. For Hospitality and tourism in particular and Entrepreneurship and Innovation Education at large this article includes and develops specific elements of the Finnish approach to education. Thoughts, markets and futures are interlinked through “spaces of flows or agoras”, their “merchants” and the orientation on the future. Evidence for this approach is collected from 6 case studies from France, the Netherlands, Finland and Romania.
