dispatches from the new world of work

Signing Up Rich Karlgaard

Just added nouveau blogger Rich Karlgaard to our Blog Roll. Rich, Publisher of Forbes magazine, is an old pal—and a wise and energetic commentator on the New Economy, assuming it's okay (again?) to use that term. (It's very okay by me. Always was.) Among many other things, social commentator Dinesh D'Souza, in his 2000 book The Virtue of Prosperity, called Rich, George Gilder, and me chief cheerleaders for what D'Souza labeled the "Party of Yeah"—vociferous advocates of the sweeping impact of the then-emergent new economy. I can't think of any duo I'd rather be paired with. Rich's new blog at Forbes.com is titled "Digital Rules" (that's also the title of his bi-weekly commentary at the magazine). We've listed it on our Blog Roll as "Rich Karlgaard/Forbes." Welcome aboard, Rich.

Peter,

Didn't Forbes just publish that ridiculous article about bloggers this past month? (Painting us as a cross between internet-based anti-corporate terrorists and antisocial libel-obsessed hacker types?)

sigh

Regardless, good luck to Rich in his new endeavour.

Perhaps his experience as a blogger will prompt Forbes to publish better pieces on this not-so-criminal medium in the future.

Welcome Mr. Karlgaard! I hope we will have the chance soon of commenting our perspectives on certain worthwhile ideas, it could be quite interesting.
