The Status of the Information Society, by Michel Bauwens
American Progress and Freedom Foundation Activity
The PFF
primary discussion paper, the "Magna Carta of the
Knowledge Age," written by George Gilder, Alvin Toffler, amongst
others, seemed to consider cyberspace as a collection of
knowledge bases and not as a collection of people communicating.
This was seen as signifying a business bias.
By now, of
course, reports that the PFF may have been a conduit for
donations to the Gingrich political machine, may have further
weakened the foundation's potential role.
