The Success of Open Source
Steven Weber
In spite of the conventional wisdom that innovation is driven by the promise of individual and corporate wealth, Steven Weber argues, ensuring the free distribution of code among computer programmers can create a more effective process for developing intellectual products. Weber argues that the success of open source is not a freakish exception to economic principles and explains the political and economic dynamics of this critical market development.
