| <blockquote>The stories we tell ourselves about the future, whether it’s the timelessness of a particular business model, the hegemony of an economic system, the durability of an ideology, or the boundaries of social or political acceptability can become barriers to change if they’re not periodically revisited, revised, and adapted for present realities which point to shifting future possibilities...</blockquote> | <blockquote>The stories we tell ourselves about the future, whether it’s the timelessness of a particular business model, the hegemony of an economic system, the durability of an ideology, or the boundaries of social or political acceptability can become barriers to change if they’re not periodically revisited, revised, and adapted for present realities which point to shifting future possibilities...</blockquote> |
