found that a majority of this article comes directly from [http://www.skyrme.com/insights/21gke.htm DavidSkyme's The Global Knowledge Economy: and its implication for markets]
not saying thats bad, that article is free.
It is not true, that Porter invented "knowledge worker". It was rather Machlup in 1960s.
Too much about this 1966 book. It may have defined some useful terms, but how the author knew that these would happen soon is very clever. More sources needed. Suggest leave this as "one interpretation" or combine with The information age and digital age and digital revolution in line with 5 pillars. oops not logged in (this is user:victuallers
Found that the last two external links actually point to websites only indirectly (and in a non relevant way) to the concept of 'knowledge economy': user:poderi —Preceding comment was added at 16:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC) update: link removed user:poderi
who42.com (Human Capital for the Knowledge Economy) : seems just to be a consulting firm/company website
http://kesp2007.wetpaint.com/ seems more like a community/social website related somehow to KESP (http://www.kesp.ie/). If nobody disagree i would delete both of them relatively soon.
[edit] Merge Proposal for Articles on Knowledge Economies
The following articles (and possibly more!) all deal with very similar, very closely related, and overlapping subject matter .. to such an extent that;
- it is confusing for Wikipedia users such as myself
- it begs for a lot of sytematic wikifying, in-text citing, and general raising to higher Wikpeida encyclopedic standards
- it begs for an single all inclusive article bringing them together and giving readers/ users a good overview of the whole field
- Information economy,
- Information society,
- Information market,
- Knowledge society,
- Knowledge market,
- Knowledge economy
Now, noting there is in fact a single, overarching economic field .. within with all local economies may be compared and contrasted by the extent to which the are (or are not) knowledge-based ..
.. it is here proposed the existing Knowledge economy article be expanded to cover the full range of knowledge ecomonies around the world .. and all the above articles be merged and intergrated into this single, proposed and expanded discussion.
I hope such a merge proposal is agreeable .. for the above stated reasons!?! Bruceanthro (talk) 12:06, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

- I think such a merge is not useful - too much together. The reference concept is meta-knowledge where different perspectives on knowledge should be illustrated. User:Adam M. Gadomski 28 May 2008(UTC)
[edit] Knowledge Society
I prefer the term "Knowledge Society" to "Information Society". Though I do not know exactly why. It just seems to have a better sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.193.227.104 (talk) 08:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
