Open Source Economics

May 14th, 2008

Yesterday I had my lunch in front of the computer at the office and since I'm easily bored by just sitting and eating by myself, I fired up Safari and browsed to TED.com for a little meal entertainment. While enjoying my Marinara Meatball sub I watched Yochai Benkler's seminar Open-source economics, which was really interesting. He draws similar conclusions as Tor Nørretranders in his book The Generous Man - that we are moving towards a sharing community and how the mechanics of open source project organization (i.e. a lot of people sharing for a greater good) is widely used by large organizations such as NASA. Very interesting video indeed.
