Idea generation #35: Markets for credit default swaps, reforming teacher salary and hacking the 'child care worker' industry

Markets for credit default swaps: The coming of the age of markets. We will see more markets developed in many many areas, including my favourite: personal carbon trading.

Reforming the salary structure of teachers: About bloody time. Has some good ideas in there as well. For example, "something like Glassdoor.com for school". Worth a glance.

Hacking the child care worker industry: Totally fascinating. Is this what BubbleGen means by thinking of industries that have not existed before? More importantly, hacking the system to better align the effort and rewards for child care workers seems like something worthwhile to do. (Original article about low salaries for child care workers)
