P2P means equal participation to the economy. In that regard, it can not exist without having equal knowledge to information, technologies and capital.
So the open source movement is necessary for p2p to work but it is not enough. Equal access to capital is required.

p2p needs not be local but now it is. the P2P movement has to find a way to scale trust globally.
