Our transition to a new server and blog did not go as smooth as planned, and for the last month or so, our blog was only intermittently available to the public.

During that time, quite a bit of interesting material was published, which you may have missed.

 

Here are just 3 items that appeared in the last 2 weeks of October, but there was of course much more, so we recommend you browse in our October archives for a fuller review:

 

Peer to peer and the corporation, a typology of the direct economy
blog.p2pfoundation.net/?p=528

From simple externalisation to full peer production, there are a lot of intermediate ways where the for-profit economy and peer production mix and match.
Kevin Carson examines our assumptions on economies of scale
blog.p2pfoundation.net/?p=557

Why bigger is not always more beautiful, an excerpt of the first chapter (draft) of Carson’s new book

 

Stefan Merten on monetary value in peer production
blog.p2pfoundation.net/?p=574

Why it would be a grave mistake to monetize all aspects of peer production
