It's precisely because so much of human knowledge and culture in the 21st century no longer participates in the traditional microeconomics of price, asymptotically reaching towards a non-zero marginal cost, that we experience so much opportunity to give people what they never had before. And when I speak to you about the difference between hardware and software I'm implicitly observing the distinction between the traditional non-zero marginal cost economy and the wonderful and weird economics of bitstreams, in which the traditional microeconomic theory gives the right answers, but traditional microeconomic theorists don't like what they see when they do the chalk work.
