Economic Common Sense from a Liberal?

Sometimes one finds basic logic in the strangest places. Kristen Bell, a young TV and movie actress writing in last May's Time magazine to describe the genius of Perry Chen (the inventor of Kickstarter, the "catalyst for the crowd funding economy"), says this:

"There's something so smart and magical about that idea–connecting consumers with creators and letting them vote with their own money."

Kristen is a vegetarian, PETA supporter, and a campaigner for Obama, according to Wikipedia. Isn't the world a strange place.
