Coase's Penguin, or Linux and the Nature of the Firm - супер интересная статья, про peer-production, новую модель экономики ! (абстракт; вся статья - в pdf, 75 стр.)

"That we cannot fully understand a phenomenon does not mean that it does not exist. That a seemingly growing phenomenon [of peer production] refuses to fit our settled perceptions of how people behave and how economic growth occurs counsels a closer attention, not studied indifference and ignorance.

...peer production of information is a phenomenon with much broader economic implications for information production that thinking of free software alone would suggest.

Peer production presents a fascinating phenomenon that could allow us to tap substantially underutilized reserves of human creative efforts."
