[Irtalk] The end of capitalism has begun | Books | The Guardian

[Hilton Gibson]

*Today, the thing that is corroding capitalism, barely rationalised by
mainstream economics, is information*. *Most laws concerning information
define the right of corporations to hoard it and the right of states to
access it, irrespective of the human rights of citizens*. *The equivalent
of the printing press and the scientific method is information technology
and its spillover into all other technologies, from genetics to healthcare
to agriculture to the movies, where it is quickly reducing costs.*
