WOS 4 also wants to take a look back at Shapiro/Varian's seminal 1999 book "Information Rules" on business strategies for the networked economy, which surprisingly is completely oblivious to the new mode of „commons-based peer production" (Yochai Benkler). And thirdly, WOS 4 will look at the rules required to make Information Freedom sustainable. On this panel, the "Cooking Pot Market" meets the "Network Economy" meets the "Wealth of Networks." Chair: Rishab Aiyer Ghosh Senior researcher, United Nations University, Maastricht Economic and Social Research and Training Centre on Innovation and Technology & Founding Editor of First Monday, Maastricht Hal R. Varian School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley Yochai Benkler Yale Law School, New Haven
