"The implosion of capital outlays associated with the desktop
revolution, and the virtual disappearance of transaction costs of
coordinating action associated with the network revolution, have (as
Tom Coates said) eliminated the gap between what can be produced in
large hierarchical organizations and what can be produced at home in a
wide range of industries: software, publishing, music, education, and
journalism among them.

"And we can include many of the functions of government in that list.
The central theme of this book is the potential for networked
organization to constrain the exercise of power by large, hierarchical
institutions in a way that once required the countervailing power of
other large, hierarchical institutions."
