Marketplace CommensalityCounter Intelliegence
Ted Selker
Has Wall Street Stolen the word "marketplace"?
The village marketplace was a place where
desire, opportunity and fulfillment met. The
smell of coffee, frying food, garlic, fresh
fruit and spices were everywhere. A bustle and
enthusiasm pervades. We observe other people's
choices. We remember things, but are also
confronted by the unfamiliar. Tomorrows
efficient convenience needs to embrace social
experience, choice, quality and indulgence in
marketplaces.
