- Austin Brockmeier's Review of Daniel Pink's Free Agent Nation
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2DSD4ECEZBYTR Austin Brockmeier's review was made as part of a critical review assignment for the Spring 2009 Economics of Technology seminar at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, taught by Art Diamond.

Rating: - A Great Insight into the Changing Economy
Over the past few months I have been developing the idea of what I call the "new entrepreneur".This is someone who starts their own business, not because they have the entrepreneurial drive to start businesses, but rather because they provide a service and they prefer to work in an independent capacity.Some of them might not even have a choice, as corporations downsize and contract out much of their work.

- Interesting.....not compelling......
At a macro level Dan Pinks view of the "free agent nation" is interesting. The information is well presented and opens a vault of thought and consideration for taking a closer look at micro business.

I looked to this title for inspiration and it didn't deliver to my expectations. A good read, but not compelling enough to re-visit.
