Obama on How Markets Reduce Racial Discrimination


Just watched the interview on your recommendation, though I invariably find Shirky to be someone who either states the obvious or is dead wrong about what he writes about. I found his speaking style fairly annoying but thankfully he mostly stuck to stating the obvious until the end, when he blundered by implying that linux and wikipedia are either non-communistic or somehow sustainable regardless. I believe events will prove that both are unsustainable because they follow the communist model and thus will fail for the same reasons, the tragedy of the commons and a lack of property rights.
