Author Description
New deals are being called for everywhere these days, which speaks to a growing awareness of the inevitability of change. However, it is probably also a sign of our longing for easy solutions, of the ultimately naive hope that a few negotiations and agreements will be enough to put things back in balance. So what might a new deal look like, and what do we mean by "deal" in this context? Nothing will come of the new digital deal if we see it only as a quick horse-trading exercise, if we are only out to negotiate a few benefits for ourselves. Nor is it a deal that anyone can negotiate for us, because a crucial aspect of the "New Digital Deal" is the question of "how are we going to deal with it?"--in other words, the question of options for action and the ability to act.--Cover.
