Recommendation

Pirates of old held reputations for treacherous villainy, yet, according to marketing expert Sam Conniff Allende, they were also progressive social innovators. In this excerpt, Allende draws parallels between 18th-century pirates and today’s radical disrupters. Although Allende ignores pirates’ more barbaric tendencies, which make them less-than-ideal role models, getAbstract recommends his fun overview of pirate qualities – attributes the modern world needs.

Take-Aways

  • Pirates emerge during times of economic uncertainty and ideological conflict. These anarchists challenge the establishment.
  • Early 18th-century pirates offer several lessons to today’s social innovators.
  • Some 300 years ago, pirates developed radically progressive social rules. They championed diversity and universal suffrage , created a system of dual governance, offered social insurance, and even introduced same-sex marriage.
