Jerry Michalski Talks About Small 'g' governance
By Dave Witzel, 06/30/2008 - 9:24am

At a New Politics Institute event in May, futurist Jerry Michalski gave a wonderful 15 minute talk about emergence of the global brain, society's historic distrust of democracy, and evolution of the social contract.

Of particular interest to us, he discusses "small 'g' governance" as opposed to "big 'G' Government" and the question of how we will govern ourselves. This thread was highlighted again during the second day of the PdF last week. We'll continue to push on this discussion in a participatory interview with Jerry on Wednesday, July 2, at 1pm ET (10am PT).

Watch the video below and ask Jerry questions now. Come back Wednesday to participate when he is online live.
