I'd like to close with a speculative thought. As argues in his book Trust, there is a strong correlation between the prosperity of national economies and , which he defines culturally as the ease with which people in a particular culture can form new associations. There is a clear synergy between the sociability that Fukuyama discusses and the technology and tools that support [GFN]-s () - both are structural supports for association. As the scale of interaction grows more global via the Internet, isn't it possible that a combination of social capital and [GFN] capital will drive prosperity to those who recognize the value of network structures that support free and responsible association for common purposes?
