Mapping the speed of change
In the issue that comes out next week, Foreign Policy magazine will cover some work I did at the consulting firm Social Technologies on mapping the speed of change.
Foreign Policy writes:
How swiftly or slowly life changes in particular countries is the subject of the Speed of Change Index, which measures changes in urbanization, literacy, GDP per capita, civil liberties, and access to a telephone, TV, and the Internet in countries during the last 15 years…. The index reveals where citizens’ needs are rapidly changing, new markets are opening, and the risk of instability runs high.
