"Much of the prosperity in recent decades was gained by unleashing market forces on social problems. Now we’re trying the same trick with collaborative social technology, applying digital socialism to a growing list of wishes – and occasionally to problems that the free market couldn’t solve – to see if it works. So far, the results have been startling. At nearly every turn, the power of sharing, co-operation, collaboration, openness, free pricing and transparency has proven to be more practical than we capitalists thought possible."
