2. Entrepreneur Talk
Charles Leadbeater at TED - July 2005 (posted January 2007)
"Imagine you could take all the children in education in Britain and one percent of them were co-developers of education. What would that do to the resources available to the education system? Or if you got one percent of the patients in the NHS to in some sense be co-producers of health? The reason why despite all the efforts to cut it down, to constrain it, to hold it back, why these open models will still start emerging with tremendous force is that they multiply our productive resources. And one of the reasons they do that they turn users into producers, consumers into designers."
