Between the Romans and the Renaissance the world of "information" belonged to the Church, Feudal system, or the Monarchy.
Then came the Renaissance which included the most important invention until the turn of the 20th century... the printing press.
The only problem is that most people could not read!

Don't believe the pessimists who predict a drop of 40 per cent. They forgot we don't have the right homes in the right places.
I found this the other day on The Times Online written by Yolande Barnes, I think it is a very compelling piece of writing, especially the last section.

Hi everyone, Nick here. It's been a busy couple of weeks in the fast moving world of property, that's for sure. With the Bank of England base rate and LIBOR rate coming down, this is a positive sign that things are improving within the financial markets, and that liquidity - which oils the wheels of this particular market - is returning. It gives a strong indication of which way rates are moving. There's still a long way to go though and still a great deal of uncertainty. When it comes to Property 2.0, only those who adapt their strategies to reflect this brave new world will survive.
Bank of England Base Rate 3%
LIBOR rate 4.37% (as at 12/11/08)
