A theory is the over-emphasis on shareholder value – and this guy has a theory why.
Pretty interesting reading, and if this is valid, it indicates how much culture is part of our economic dumbitutde in the meltdown.

Career Sustainability And Your Passions
So last week I discussed Career Sustainability and why it was important. In short, Career Sustainability is about ensuring your career lasts to pay the bills, and I explored what it took.
Now in the spirit of Muse Hack, I’d like to specifically address how to tie your hobbies, passions, and interests into Career Sustainability. Your Geekery can be applied to keeping your career – and the money – going.
Admittedly if you’re already a fan-to-pro type this is probably old hat. But if you’re still syncing up your career and passions, or are still exploring options, these should give you some great ideas.
So all those areas I discussed last column, let’s see what you can do with your own geekiness . . .
Job Creation and Climate
Two things to follow here.
First, Americans back government job creation – though it’s a broadly mixed bag of proposals there, so not everyone agrees on the right method. Suggests to me that if some rational politicians (those that are left) pay attention they’d have a lot of support – and a lot of workers.
President Obama will be announcing his climate change plans tomorrow. Beyond the scientific, political, and survival-of-the-human species issues, this could also result in economic stimulus. There’s something sad about me thinking that way, but my focus here is careers.
Since Miami looks to be facing some serious challenges, you scientific Musehackers may want to direct your skills to urban re-engineering.
