I would like to add to your point that it is the whole conception of capital is being forced to change from what it has been in three ways:

– scale: less is needed

– plasticity: capital applied to information technologies can be used in almost any activity (vs. caital invested in specialiced industries such as trains converting into cars)

– distribution: crowfunding is taking capital markets out of the reach of Capital Markets.

thanks,

javier

Yesterday «Financial Times» published more evidence of the general reduction of optimal scale and size of the productive units. As in a joke, the industry studied was the finantial industry itself. http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/c54b6408-8970-11e1-85b6-00144feab49a.html#axzz1sqGXOd8P
