DIY Supply and demand 
| | Just went looking for a quote about today's networked marketplace, using both Adam Smith and Karl Marx as search terms. Found this: |
| | The World Wide Web's strange new economy is where Adam Smith and Karl Marx finally meet. For Smith the Internet provides a "simple system of natural liberty [that] establishes itself of its own accord," and for Marx it finally puts the means of production in the hands of the workers. In other words, it achieves the irony of capital-free capitalism: enterprise so free that it requires almost zero capital to start and run a new business. |
