New Rules for the New Economy: 10 Radical Strategies for a Connected World Paperback – October 1, 1999
Purchase options and add-ons
Forget supply and demand. Forget computers. The old rules are broken. Today, communication, not computation, drives change. We are rushing into a world where connectivity is everything, and where old business know-how means nothing. In this new economic order, success flows primarily from understanding networks, and networks have their own rules. In New Rules for the New Economy, Kelly presents ten fundamental principles of the connected economy that invert the traditional wisdom of the industrial world. Succinct and memorable, New Rules explains why these powerful laws are already hardwired into the new economy, and how they play out in all kinds of business—both low and high tech— all over the world. More than an overview of new economic principles, it prescribes clear and specific strategies for success in the network economy. For any worker, CEO, or middle manager, New Rules is the survival kit for the new economy.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2022This man has a phone booth time machine he frequents, returning briefly to our plane simply to share a few notes prior to his next departure. A must read.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2015This book opened my eyes to new way on how to view organization strategy. In the past 10 to 20 years technology become a part of our life and most if not all organization have adopt some of the new technologies. In this book Kelly will explain how organizations should act and adopt the new technologies, how organizations can benefit from it, and how to stay competitive. Also in this book, you will learn how and what strategy your organization should adopt in this new economy. This book will walk you through 10 very important rules to survive in the new economy.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2002I tend to give a book **** stars when it should be read and ***** when it must be read. This book remains a good read even after the dot-com implosion. Perhaps even a better read afterward since the hype and frenzy are long since gone and the work can better live and die on its own.
Kevin Kelly, as founding editor of Wired magazine, has long been one of the new economy's chief advocates. In New Rules for the New Economy, Kelly tries to encapsulate the characteristics of this emerging economic order by laying out 10 rules for how the wired world operates. It is very well thought out and well written. A superb synthesis of new economy thinking. Right or wrong, it does a phenomenal job of putting forth the premises and substantive arguments that make the new economy such a provocative topic. Kelly manages to do this while maintaining a fluid and natural story telling style. Here is a representative sample excerpt:
"Communication is the foundation of society, of our culture, of our humanity, of our own individual identity, and of all economic systems. This is why networks are such a big deal. Communication is so close to culture and society itself that the effects of technologizing it are beyond the scale of a mere industrial-sector cycle. Communication, and its ally computers, is a special case in economic history. Not because it happens to be the fashionable leading business sector of our day, but because its cultural, technological, and conceptual impacts reverberate at the root of our lives."
This book both informs and, more importantly, inspires. Its powerful message has no doubt launched careers and changed lives. It will remain an important read for many, many years to come.
Kevin, like all good pioneers, has taken more than his fair share of "arrows in the back", but don't be mis-led by the naysayers, this one is the real deal.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2013Kevin Kelly really hit this one out of the park. I didn't realize it was written in 1998, not 2013 until half way through. It's that good. He's a futurist who believes that business has a logical flow to it. By following the "new rules" in 1998, you would have been very far in front of the curve. Today many of the things he talk about are a must in business. I want to read more from Kevin Kelly after I tried this one.
Read it.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2013If you haven't read this book, you're no friend of mine, and you're not as serious as you ought to be about the present and the future.
Kevin's a genius and this is half of his masterpiece (What Technology Wants is the other half).

- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2014Brilliant book for understanding the web and the dynamics of the Internet. The principles have not aged, if anything, they are more impressive given their foresight. If you want to understand principles of the web rather than a discussion of specifics - this is the book for you.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2015Kevin Kelly has to feel great that his work has endured. His description of fundamental principles of the networked economy have proven prescient. Easy read. Solid work.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 1999While there are many items in this book that are accurate and reflect the true nature of our "wired" economy, very little of what this author or this environment, for that matter, has to offer is "new.".

HeuteLachtKeinerMehrReviewed in Germany on October 8, 20195.0 out of 5 stars Vor 20 Jahren übersehen- unentschuldbar..
Kevin Kelly hat die digitalen „Bewegungsgesetze“ der Plattformwirtschaft schon vor 20 Jahren mit diesem Buch vorausgesehen und beschrieben. Er ist aber kein digitaler Newton geworden und vom universitären Milieu und der Consultingbranche übersehen worden- der Mann war ja kein Akademiker. Liest sich heute noch gut.
DavidReviewed in France on April 2, 20133.0 out of 5 stars New Rules for the New Economy
A bit tough to read - but very key concepts inside. I found it very worth reading but the writer's flow was a bit tricky for me. Not riveting, but valuable.
