Centralized vs. decentralized is a pendulum that has been swinging since time immemorial. Heck one could argue that cooperateive single-celled vs. multicellular organisms boils down to a similar principle. Given that this pendulum has been swinging back and forth since long before humans, and certainly throughout human history, I believe it is safe to say that neither is going to "win in the end". They each must obviously contain the seeds of their own downfall. Which is interesting and worthy of study, but I don't see this article particularly advancing the understanding of that.
