More or Less?

I caught a really great segment on NPR this morning talking about the history of the phrase "Do More with Less." While I've always looked at it from an athletic/efficiency lens, the context has certainly changed in these uncertain times.

It made me think of the shift in our global economic priorities. Only a few months ago we were living in an age of "Do Less with More." It's an attitude that promoted Cultural Obesity. While the shift is painful, it feels better to me that we are entering an era of "Doing More with Less."
