The Rise of the Amateurs

In this awesome article - Amateur Revolution on FastCompany, the author gives examples of Linux, Sims and the Grameen Bank to show the rise in importance of amateurs in almost all fields.

An interesting quote -
"Knowledge is widely distributed, not controlled in a few ivory towers. The most powerful organizations will enable professionals and amateurs to combine distributed know-how to solve complex problems."
