Allen Jay was one of the most remarkable Friends of the nineteenth
century, indeed, perhaps one of the most remarkable Friends who
ever lived. His life was full of paradoxes. Born with a cleft
palate, he became one of the most admired and successful Quaker
preachers of his time. A native of the Ohio frontier, he became
widely traveled and admired around the globe. A peacemaker by
nature, he nevertheless did not shrink from controversy when he saw
a principle involved. Firmly committed to what he understood as
historic Quakerism, he nevertheless helped lead perhaps the most
dramatic, even revolutionary, change that it has ever experienced.
And in the midst of controversy, he managed to retain the respect,
even love, of almost everyone with whom he came into contact. -
From the Introduction, by Thomas D. Hamm If you want to understand

If you want to understand Friends in the 1700s, you have to read

complex challenges and changes faced by Friends in the 1800s, you

Joshua Brown

The convergence of technology that accelerates the power of
relationships and facilitates dynamic communications-- peer to peer
and to entire communities--is revolutionary to say the least. The
book examines the factors that are influencing the emergence of The
Relationship Economy.
The book defines The Relationship Economy as: "The people and
things we are connected with in our personal networks who or that
distribute or consume our capital, which in turn influences our
individual production outputs." The book analyzes the factors that
are influencing an emerging economy based on the sum of factors
driving massive and significant changes to the way everyone will
work, play, and live.
This emergence will have an especially profound effect on
businesses and individuals. While individual factors are
self-evident, the collective factors, taken as a whole, are the
basis for individual conclusions for strategic opportunities that
can be gained from the new economy.
The book provides the knowledge, tools and suggested skills
necessary for improved comprehension of the strategic issues
required to succeed in The Relationship Economy, and provides the
context of actions that enable success. It covers an emerging
opportunity for the global community of
users/consumers/prosumers/citizens, consumer brands, corporations,
non-governmental organizations and governments to play a critical
role in forging this new carbon neutral economy: The Relationship
Economy.
This book details an emerging economy, driven by factors that
are affecting massive changes to the way people work, play, and
live. This emergence will have an especially profound effect on
business. While individual factors are self-evident, when taken
collectively, they are the basis that individuals use to identify
strategic opportunities to be gained from the new economy.
Starting with a foreword by Doc Searls, Co-Author of 'The
Cluetrain Manifesto', this book is a foundational resource for
individuals and entities to use as each begins to plan for
participation in the accelerated changes brought on my
technological advances of the World Wide Web. The goal of the book
is to enable all parties to gain perspectives, knowledge, and
insights as to the dynamics of technology, the impact of changes
brought on by the social Web, and what factors should be considered
for the purposes of planning for success.
