"The secret of the Inca’s great wealth may have been their unusual tax system. Instead of paying taxes in money, every Incan was required to provide labor to the state. In exchange for this labor, they were given the necessities of life."
Cool article about how the Inca’s build a huge empire without having any system of commerce.
The greatest mystery of the Inca Empire was its strange economy

Um, yeah pretty impressive…
But what this doesn’t show is the number of photos on Facebook that are public versus private (or semi-private)
The default sharing mode for Flickr, Instagram, and I assume the LoC is public, whereas Facebook photos are mainly walled of to a specific subset of people.
