‘Information and communication technologies have unleashed the creativity of users, consumers and other members of the public. The cost of designing, producing and distributing creative products is rapidly diminishing. So far this has had a revolutionizing impact on the creative industries, on innovation and product development and on knowledge production in general. But do these new relations of production have the potential to move beyond today’s social order? What kind of political thought and what sort of social institutions can come out of such diffused production systems? ‘

Michel Bauwens is one of the world’s leading experts on such peer-to-peer systems. He has published widely on the political economy of peer production (http://www.ctheory.net/articles.aspx?id=499)and runs the foundation for peer to peer alternatives (www.p2pfoundation.net), the worlds leading information resource on the economic, social and political implications of peer-to-peer production
