Doc, I was reading along, cheering until I came to this paragraph: "Who wired it? Try the open source development community, including the free software movement from which it grew. If you want to see a model of a craft-driven world in which every "worker" is a free, autonomous and effective agent, there it is."
This evokes my anger. It's so revisionist and clueless, I wish you and other open source promoters would stop and study the history of software, and see that the technical innovations that make the Internet possible come from SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS, not the small club annointed by O'Reilly, Raymond and yourself. Your algorithm is as defective as the one you decry. You say you love the market, love it for real, by speaking truthfully and not taking shortcuts like this.
