Cory Doctorow reviewt Don Tappscotts und Anthony Williams MacroWikinomics und findet das Buch nicht sonderlich gut:
… WeiterlesenIf a Macrowikinomics reader is meant to come away from the section on open source with an understanding of the dynamic that she can apply to her own firm, this will leave out the critical intelligence that much of that world is anti-authoritarian and skeptical of commercial co-option. The authors cite the great scholar Yochai Benkler but completely fail to get to grips with Benkler’s central thesis — that the kind of collaboration they’re urging is neither a marketplace nor a socialist planned system — rather, it’s a totally new thing, a „commons-based peer production“ economy. This is one of the most important insights of the century when it comes to understanding how net-driven collaboration works, and the authors miss it in favor of an undemanding story about a new kind of free market.
