    It’s been corporate the entire time. The rise of the www literally fueled a global economic bubble.

      The bubble was because of speculative finance assholes ripping each other off by pointing at the thin vaneer of corporate windows built on the tools that were mostly developed by the military, universities, CERN and countless nerds’ computer rooms and garages.
