The phenomenon he describes as social production is reshaping markets, while at the same time offering new opportunities to enhance individual freedom, cultural diversity, political discourse, and justice. But these results are by no means inevitable: a systematic campaign to protect the entrenched industrial information economy of the last century threatens the promise of today's emerging networked information environment.In this comprehensive social theory of the Internet and the networked information economy, Benkler describes how patterns of information, knowledge, and cultural production are changing-and shows that the way information and knowledge are made available can either limit or enlarge the ways people can create and express themselves. He describes the range of legal and policy choices that confront us and maintains that there is much to be gained-or lost-by the decisions we make today. 606 $aInformation society 606 $aInformation networks 606 $aComputer networks$xSocial aspects 606 $aComputer networks$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aInformation society. 615 0$aInformation networks. 615 0$aComputer networks$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aComputer networks$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a303.48/33 700 $aBenkler$b Yochai$0321037 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822682103321 996 $aThe wealth of networks$94114342 997 $aUNINA
