One of the personas based on our\u00a0research<\/a>\u00a0that we created –\u00a0Lifestyle Hackers<\/a>\u00a0“see their own assets as the best form of support. Although many of these are unemployed or underworked, they make use of their networks to share assets and skills, often not bothering with formal support.”<\/p>\n

If this group of young people doesn’t bother with formal support, will it not self exclude\u00a0itself and by becoming silent about how institutions can provide social welfare, will its needs not become silenced as a result on other issues?<\/p>\n

Lifestyle hackers develop their own projects, which are often pioneering in meeting needs not understood let alone met by the state, what we could call social innovations…or even social enterprise?<\/p>\n

Isn’t there a risk that those with the greatest power, be it industries, sectors or organisations, will co-opt the new business models being developed.
