The Wealth of Networks
Wed, 25 Jun 2008 22:15:09 +0200
Last night I wrote a post about the wealth of networks for someone I met on the airplane to Joburg. This morning it was gone. I can only surmise that my service provider must have had a database crash and restored from backups. So here is a second attempt to provide some of the video of Yochai Benkler's talks, as well as access to a downloadable version of the book and some other information.
| Video http://www.ted.com of Law professor Yochai Benkler explaining how collaborative projects like Wikipedia and Linux represent the next stage of human organization. By disrupting traditional economic production, copyright law and established competition, they're paving the way for a new set of economic laws, where empowered individuals are put on a level playing field with industry giants. | |
| "Can other goods than knowledge and media be produced by commons-based peer production?" Yochai Benkler was one of the top speakers of Wizards of OS conference in Berlin on Sept 14, 2006. Although he was only in town for about 20h, he gave politik-digital.de an interview at his hotel. Thomas Praus and Peter Bihr asked him about the role of free information and commons-based peer production.

The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom is a book by law professor Yochai Benkler published by Yale University Press on April 3, 2006. A complete PDF of the book is freely downloadable on the wiki of the book and is available under a Creative Commons Noncommercial Sharealike license. Benkler has said that his editable online book is "an experiment of how books might be in the future," demonstrating how authors and readers might connect instantly or even collaborate. Unfortunately, the site seems to be down at the moment. I will post the link when it is working.
You can find MP3 versions of the book at Bablebooks at http://www.babblebooks.com/podcasts/WealthOfNetworks/index.htm and you can read along with it at http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/the_wealth_of_networks.yochai_benkler/1.html
