Reading the Kickstarter FAQs it is interesting to see who is providing the back-engine financial platform for the initiative. It isn't Bank of America or Goldman Sachs, it's Amazon. Kickstarter doesn't go the whole capitalist hog and allow 'pledgers' to become shareholders - but it's an inevitable next step (similarly with Kiva in due course I'm sure).
So the free market - plus some web 2.0 apps - will ensure that Capitalism 2.0 will rise out of the ashes (or NAMA-burdened institutions) of Capitalism 1.0. And it looks like it will be fun.
