And "A dynamic two-flow of power .." is very poor English, too....
Jennifer Levey Sep 20, 2007:
If you google 'wereacrchy' the only hits are here on proz.com. The correct spelling is 'wirearchy', and it basically means 'ITC-based B2B or P2P networking'. Results 1 - 10 of about 132,000 for wirearchy ...
Andrew Levine Sep 20, 2007:
I agree, that word is hideous...

What a ghastly word. I'd prefer to read it as "lupocratie", the hierarchy of werewolves.

nous-erarchie

This appears to be a coined portmanteau word combining "we" and "hierarchy" -- the sort of thing marketing people in the Anglosphere come up with all the time.

As opposed to a traditional "hierarchy" in which one person is atop another, the idea here is that both parties treat each other as equals.

Or I suppose "nous-érarchie" would be more correct.
