The capitalist order requires the maintenance of an artificial scarcity in goods that have the potential for near infinite and almost free replication. The sharing of informational goods through distributed global networks digital libraries, file-sharing, live-streaming, free software, free-access publishing, the free-sharing of scientific knowledge, and open-source pharmaceuticals not only challenges the dominance of a scarcity-based economic system, but also enables a more efficient, innovative, just and free culture. In a series of seven explorations of contemporary sharing, Matthew David shows that these surpass markets, private ownership and intellectual property rights in fostering motivation, creativity, innovation, production, distribution and reward. In transforming the idea of an information economy into an information society, they connect struggles against inequality and poverty in developed and developing countries.0Challenging taken-for-granted justifications of the status quo, Sharing debunks the 'tragedy of the commons' and makes the case for digital network sharing as a viable mode of economic counterpower, prefiguring a post-capitalist society. 650 0 $a Information technology $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a Computer file sharing $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a Cultural industries. 650 0 $a Property. 650 0 $a Intellectual property. 650 0 $a Capitalism. 650 7 $a Wirtschaftssystem $2 gnd 650 7 $a Digitalisierung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Technischer Fortschritt $2 gnd 650 7 $a Datenaustausch $2 gnd 650 04 $a Beni immateriali $x Effetti economici. $x Effetti economici. 776 08 $i Online version: $a David, Matthew. $t Sharing. $d Cambridge, UK ; Malden, MA : Polity Press, 2017 $z 9781509513253 $w (DLC) 2017014198 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210021319.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8AE96610580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
