2 It s all micro-trends & customization 2 Whereas in the Ford economy, the masses were served by many people working to make one, uniform product, in the Starbucks economy, the masses are served by a few people working to make thousands of customized, personalized products (Micro Trends). Ford Economy Starbucks Economy
3 Everything is changing 3 Only 31% of American Jews belong to a synagogue Over 51% of Millennial Jews have only one Jewish parent Only 50% of American Jews have had a bar or bat mitzvah ceremony Americans overwhelmingly think that religious organizations are too concerned with money and power, too focused on rules and too involved in politics.
