OVER AT GLENNREYNOLDS.COM I’ve got more on cottage industry and self-employment, with an interesting connection to the war on terrorism in the last couple of reader comments.
Arnold Kling emailed to suggest that this discussion (er, except for the terrorism part) has veered into the territory already pioneered by Dan Pink in his book Free Agent Nation, and although it hadn’t occurred to me, I think he’s right, though — much after the fashion in which Redbook turned into a virtual sex mag — the process was so gradual that I didn’t notice until someone pointed it out. I just ordered a copy of Pink’s book, which I’ve read about, but have never read. Maybe I’ll email him and ask him what he thinks.
