Greetings Economists,
As most people know Silicon Valley has spawned a shift in how office
space is used. Here is a Link - http://valleywag.com/387593/techs-top-10-workspaces
To a version of places which feel like to Techies good places to work
in.
This sense of the work place as malleable sort of quasi 'fun' space
you live in 24 hours a day is an outgrowth of the social pressures
created by the wild west techie world in California. I'm thinking the
sort of place in the nineteenth century accompanied mining camps. All
the conviences of home in a tent encampment. Deadwood the tv series
comes to mind.
Anyway, office space is costly, and these sorts of features could
easily fly out the window. Just work from home. Very cost effective
solution to expensive office space working from home.
On the other hand working from home means locals can shape their work
environment as a community project. some small scale efforts have
cropped up. This workers influence on their community in which the
local area reflects their community needs is a locus of organizing
potential.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
