American Consequences - September 2017

Innovations that shouldn’t have been innovated...

‘UNNOVATIONS’

When people say “innovation” – especially people in business and investment – they say it with a smile. They say it like they’d say “cold beer,” as if it were always a good idea. Not for breakfast, it isn’t. Especially not if the morning brewski is followed by smoking crack. There are plenty of innovations – starting with crack – that need to be “ unnovated .” American Consequences Managing Editor Steven Longenecker and I have been making a list... We’ve divided the labor, with me concentrating on more general things because I have what you might call a “general intelligence” (which is another way of saying I’m full of B.S.), while Steven has been concentrating on specifics because he’s actually, specifically, smart.
