Cari Loet, Mark e Tutti,
Mark ha fatto un buon lavoro di digitalizzazione della
tecno-social-conoscenza. Loet, come al solito, lo ha penetrato ponendo
delle questioni-domande epistemologiche e paradigmatiche centrali e
strategiche. In questo contesto situo la mia "Nuova economia" costruita
sul dominio della terna significazione, informazione e comunicazione. A mio
giudizio, questa è la strada che bisogna seguire.
Un abbraccio.
Francesco
