FORD HALL FORUM: Jimmy Wales, "Free Speech, Free Minds, Free Markets" September 11, 2008

Free public lecture & discussion:

Founder of Wikipedia JIMMY WALES
with journalist CHRISTOPHER LYDON

"Free Speech, Free Minds, Free Markets: Competition and Collaboration"

Across the globe we are building, editing, and contributing to a growing body of knowledge and tools at everyone’s fingertips. Volunteers in leaderless organizations contribute to online initiatives and articles. Software developers spend their free time collaborating with complete strangers. Amazingly, these efforts are creating products of extraordinary quality, sometimes better than that of large for-profit organizations. Why do we do it? Why does it work? Join us tonight as Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales joins journalist Christopher Lydon to address these questions, where “web 2.0” will take us next, and how Objectivist philosophy guides his vision.
