Presentation

This essay explores OSS and explains why it is more than just ‘sharing’. Having outlined OSS’s merits, it explores the threats to OSS from the same forces that Smith saw as threats to his own vision of a community growing in opulence as it grew in liberty and civic virtue. That threat is the subversion of both public sentiment and government policy by the self interest of the rich and powerful or what I call the producer-driven political culture of mercantilism.
