Wisdom Networks are the Zero Marginal Cost path to Society Growth! . This is a new economic development model (Network Society) which makes the existing Industrial Economy model obsolete. Network Society is now available as a superior method and platform to organise society and achieve social, economic, prosperity and governance outcomes. Wisdom Networks enable the 3rd Industrial Revolution, distributed prosperity, government transformation, economic transformation, distributed governance, all-inclusive citizen empowerment, democratisation across every sector and accelerates the Shift towards a Network Society in 20+ countries. Launch in 90-180 days. Transformation in 2-5 years.… Let’s crowd create the future together in 5 years (not 50)!

Wisdom: The Zero Marginal Cost path to Society Growth. Centralised structures centralise power and prosperity at high marginal cost and high resource usage in the narrow pursuit of Economic Growth (maximising monetary transfers). Distributed structures distribute power and prosperity at Zero Marginal Cost and less resource usage in pursuit of 'Society Growth' (collective wisdom, prosperity and satisfaction).Zero Marginal Cost Networks (internet, massively scalable blockchainified databases, wisdom networks, mobile devices, open source software etc) and the resulting Network Society development model offer a superior, efficient, effective global and costless means to achieve Society Growth in sectors, countries and the Global Village. The fragmentation, centralisation and monetisation of every 'thing' by the Industrial Economy development model can only achieve 1/3 of the potential life and less than 1/3 of the output delivered by the Network Society.The Network Society development model accelerates the evolution from Industrial Economy (stagnation) to Network Society and crowd creates the 3rd Industrial Revolution, Open Government, distributed prosperity, distributed governance, all-inclusive citizen empowerment, democratisation across every sector and country and achieves a Minimum Life and a purpose for everyone, everywhere. Network Society also crowd creates the 'Global Village' and includes global platforms for global innovation (to solve global problems), global governance, global humanitarianism (rapid failed state recovery) and a global merit based equity market.The purpose of a Network Society is 'Society Growth by maximising collective wisdom, collective prosperity and collective satisfaction at Zero Marginal Cost in sectors, countries and the Global Village for everyone, everywhere.We all have a role to play in driving Society Growth. Join a group! Start a venture! Make the Wisdom Pledge! Together, we can drive Society Growth around the world.

Malta

In September 2005, I moved to Malta. Malta is hybrid. It part of the EU and also offers significant tax incentives similar to "offshore" countries. I had already built a small portfolio of "equitymarket" domain names. I raised some capital from investors and modified an Open Source content management system to manage (what is now called) Equity Market Wisdom ( www.wisdom.to/equitymarket ).Engineering ideas into solutions was a challenge. My developers told me some things could not be done. However, I know they could given my experience developing commercial software as a teenager. After a few changes to developers, I finally found developers that could close close the gap between design and engineering. I tried developers from 3-4 different countries along the way. I also personally configured and currently maintain virtual servers on the Amazon cloud.I returned to Sydney in December 2007 (just before the GFC).
