Imagine a world where the most valuable resources aren't controlled by corporations but freely shared by millions of ordinary people. This isn't utopian fantasy-it's happening right now. The internet has fundamentally transformed how we create and share information, knowledge, and culture. What makes this shift revolutionary isn't just technological advancement but a profound economic reorganization that challenges our basic assumptions about production and cooperation. For over 150 years, industrial economies concentrated information production in commercial enterprises-newspapers, television networks, publishing houses-that controlled what could be created and distributed. But as computing power became cheaper and networks spread globally, something remarkable happened: the physical capital required for effective information production distributed into billions of hands. Suddenly, anyone with a smartphone and internet connection could potentially reach a worldwide audience-no corporate permission required. This transformation enables nonmarket, nonproprietary production to flourish at the core of advanced economies. When human creativity becomes the primary input, and the tools for creation are widely accessible, traditional market constraints fall away. The result? A new information environment where decentralized individual action-specifically cooperative action through nonmarket mechanisms-plays a much greater role than ever before in human history.
