Michael worked closely with Marc Gold.  Here is a video from the 1970's of Marc Gold and his peers exploring his 'Try Another Way' philosophy and how he applies it.  You can clearly see the roots of the non-competitive customised employment approaches Michael explored.  Please note, this video uses language from the period and region.
