Contributor(s): Paul Mason | We know that our world is in the process of seismic change - but how can we emerge from the crisis a fairer, more equal society? At the heart of this change is information technology, a revolution that, as Mason shows, is driven by capitalism but which, with its tendency to drive the value of much of what we make towards zero, has the potential to destroy an economy based on markets, wages and private ownership - and, he contends, is already doing so.
