Abundance Breaks Things More Than Scarcity

Clay Shirky has been speaking on “How Sharing Can Change the World” at SXSW in Austin (which is fast emerging as the convening place for world changers + social web). So far there’s mainly a good write-up on his talk here Huffington Post. His belief is that “Abundance breaks more things than than scarcity does”.

According to Huff Post his engaging and thoughtful hour-long talk, Mr. Shirky walked the audience through multiple examples throughout history where abundance changed the societal landscape. He also emphasized how much value we can all get through greater “civic sharing.”

We are aligned on the principles of abundance!
