Shirky Reading on Crowdsourcing-notes

What are some of the features of the modern era that make it difficult for people to share and cooperate??
As organizations got larger and more prestigious, values became centralized on being the most massive, imperial, and most influential, its gets difficult to govern in a democratic way because you cant please anyone. This leads to an authoritarian environment and those willing to accept this, but people don't really want this, things have just gotten out of hand.
What would an organization without management look like?
self regulating, rather than centralized, egalitarian
Compare Shirky, Jenkins, and small authors on these ideas...also on views of intellectual property and sharing...also originality.
