"Of particular interest to us are ways to use the Internet to fix government—for example, crowdfunding social services."
Aren't all social services crowdfunded?
- breadbox 13y agoIndeed. One could argue that government is the original crowdfunding. This is actually kind of a nice illustration of how backwards our ideas of social services have become.
- crassus 13y agoDespite democratic propaganda, government is a particular institution within society with its own particular capabilities, faults, and goals. It is not an avatar of the will of the united people.
- joelgrus 13y agoAt least in the tech community, "crowdfunded" usually means "crowdfunded using voluntary contributions".
- fspeech 13y agoCrowdfunding with non-coercive forces.
