The document discusses the open society and the rise of open peer production on the internet. It notes that the main threat to the open society is capitalism, not communism, and that traditional businesses were disrupted by the rise of the internet and peer production online. It acknowledges that while Malcolm Gladwell argued that online social media cannot provide the discipline and strategy needed for social change, the Arab Spring demonstrated it was an internet-enabled phenomenon. The document advocates for the permission-based web and open source foundations and projects that promote transparency, sharing, and contributions to society.
