Hacking the economy

How to Hack the Industrial Economy: "Today, it's hugely powerful to apply hacker principles not to bits, but to industries, markets, and companies - because putting resources and activities together is cheap and getting cheaper. If that doesn't make sense, think about Wikipedia: Jimmy Wales and the Wikipedia kru took hacker principles, and applied not to phone lines or programs, but to the publishing industry itself.

The problem is that there?s a massive reversal taking place in today?s economy. While today's revolutionaries are losing sight of these principles, ironically, its industrial-era corpocracies who are learning to use them to rethink their DNA."
