To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> at 55 minutes, about netocrats ( found via Dorota ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=cGGBWssRAhI#t=3301 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netocracy The concept was later picked up by the Swedish philosophers Alexander Bard<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Bard> and Jan Söderqvist <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_S%C3%B6derqvist> for their book *Netocracy — The New Power Elite and Life After Capitalism* (originally published in Swedish in 2000 as*Nätokraterna - boken om det elektroniska klassamhället*, published in English by Reuters/Pearsall UK in 2002). The netocracy concept has been compared with Richard Florida<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Florida>'s concept of the creative class <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_class>. Bard and Söderqvist have also defined an under-class in opposition to the netocracy, which they refer to as the consumtariat<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumtariat> . -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
