1 Ohmae’s book at this and other junctures supplies supporting evidence to many of Guehenno’s sweeping, but only briefly elaborated, observations. In this case he states that “[t]he rich suburbs no longer wish to underwrite the poor suburbs,” and, indeed, that “[a]ny subsidy [now] causes a problem” in the absence of collective attachment (p. 12). Ohmae himself serves as an example of how consultants, lawyers, investment advisers and others who link bodies of knowledge “will be the symbols of the age of the networks” (p. 63).
