Planning for 'The Next Economy'
Article Abstract:
Paul Hawken is the co-owner of Smith & Hawken, an importer and marketer of high quality garden tools. This is but a stepping stone in a series of endeavors. During his life he has been an apprentice to a contractor, an author, and the driving force behind a natural foods store (which went into receivership after he left). Throughout it all Hawken applies his unique brand of business sense, which involves paying attention to the signs all around him. He also gets involved, in a very intimate manner, with his business ventures and their customers. He does more than just sell garden tools, he studies and uses them, and trains his staff so they can advise gardeners as well as sell them tools. He has written a book, 'The Next Economy,' in which he puts his economic theories and principles in print. He believes that small companies are particularly well suited to take advantage of the changing world economy. He knows what it is like to experience the freedom to grow, and feels that business could really exploit this kind of freedom in a very positive way.

Article Abstract:
W.D. Gann developed his 'Master Price and Time Calculator' in the 1930s as a tool to develop timing pricing of commodity futures. The calculator was helpful to investors, but took much too long to create. Now a computer software program can be purchased called Ganntrader I, which will produce a completed chart in a much shorter period of time.
