The document discusses how post-war culture and economics are ending as the third industrial revolution begins, driven by urbanization, new technologies, and changing social values and preferences. This is giving rise to "Urban Villages" - modern cities combining the density and economic output of cities with the communal values and practices of villages. The sharing economy, peer-to-peer networks, and ubiquity of digital technologies are allowing new models like marketplaces, crowdfunding, and social software to thrive according to principles of mission, proprietary supply, and global orientation.
