There’s not much in this week’s news that is truly, truly microbusiness specific (except the bit about the tax gap, obviously). Which is why I’m really excited to be able to bring you, in addition to this week’s podcast, a new white paper written by yours truly and published by the Microbusiness Research Institute.

The white paper combines some of the ideas I’ve been ruminating about over at The Journal Blog for the past couple of years with some of the recently-encountered ideas of Umair Haque, economic thinker extraordinaire.

The result is a vision of the 21st century economy that I think you may find interesting.

You can download the paper with the link below in the “For more information” section.

And I will once again apologize to my regulars for being late with the podcast this week. Dentist. ‘Nuff said.
