Thank you for your clarifications. I ...Dear David,<br /><br />Thank you for your clarifications. I think an important aspect is this. Any production of a good, even private goods, needs to be designed, and such design is not fundamentally different from designing immaterial goods such as knowledge or software. Hence, what Benkler calls commons-based peer production is now also being applied to physical goods (see http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:Design). Hence, you can imagine businesses producing goods for the market, yet working together with open design communities. In this way, the network form influences and works together with market institutions. Furthermore, because of the distribution of the means of production, i.e. machines becoming more flexible, more distiributed and miniaturiarized, the organization of the market itself, becomes more networked than before.<br /><br />Michel Bauwens, p2pfoundation.netMichel Bauwenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13468735513484524450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245279442880338057.post-4552467837821616162009-05-29T10:14:33.944-07:002009-05-29T10:14:33.944-07:00Many of your observations are currently playing ou...Many of your observations are currently playing out at the UN and other state-centric institutions, where indigenous governments are negotiating with states over compliance with new human rights regime initiatives that respect economic, social, and political forms that precede and underlay states and markets. Intellectual property rights of indigenous nations regarding medicinal use of forests, to which they hold inherent title, is one example. Indigenous governance and natural resource management, at odds with such UN schemes as carbon market trading, is another.Jay Taberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016367021003977811noreply@blogger.com
