Abstract
While flexibility, a hallmark of the Information Age, enables businesses to respond to rapidly changing conditions and markets, it can also wreak havoc on human life and society. Tension between the flexible, networked global economy and the need for economic security can best be resolved if the basis of security shifts from permanent jobs to learning-centered social institutions.
