“Peer-2-peer represents a really deep shift in the mentality of people, that is particularly strong in new generations of young people who grew up with those tools. Sharing is the default option of a lot of young people in this society. They just find it natural to share their books and their music. The need for meaning is now paramount in many young people. My father, who grew up in the fifties, was happy to have a job. But I’m not happy to have a job. I want a meaningful job. More and more young people are starting to think and feel this way. They’re the ones driving peer-2-peer processes, because what happens is: if you can’t do it within a system, you do it outside the system.” Michael Bauwens,  integral philosopher and Peer-to-Peer theorist
