The Gondry business school by Jonas

Last night we went to watch Be kind rewind, good movie with the as always quirky details and ideas that makes a Michael Gondry movie. What striked me was how well it describes the changing effects of new business rules and how the DIY economy can thrive in the traditional business landscape.

or in HD

Michael Gondry:
“At times, America just seems like a vast suburb,� he admits. “I don’t say that with contempt, because I come from a suburb in France. In suburbs, you really feel the economy boom and contribute to society, and it’s sometimes at the edge of decay, whereas in cities, you have lots more parts that can hold the thing together. When you go into suburbs, you see the more direct effect of society on people.�

If you want to theorize about it and turn a good movie into an economic lecture, listen to EconTalk’s interview with Stephen Marglin. Talking to great lenght about what is lost when markets undermine our communities and social connections, and also more importantly what can be gained by foster those connections instead of markets.
