One of the exciting elements of the Internet is that the technology still provides equal access to distribution channels for both small and large organizations who wish to "publish" information. It is often said that in this way the Internet is -- at this moment in history -- still somewhat more egalitarian than older, more established print and broadcast media.

Small is beautiful is a book by the British economist, E. F. Schumacher, in which he debunks the assumption in economics and other fields that growth and large organization is the ultimate goal of modern economies.
