The Open Society and its Enemies

by Karl Popper

"Great book. The process followed by the scientific community, the political decision process in liberal democracies, and the economic decision process of market economies are all specifically designed to avoid an excessive reliance on "great men" (and great women). A major idea of the Open Society and other open activities (open science, open source...) is to maximize information action exchange between individuals to make society as a whole progress faster."
