چکیده
Over the last two decades, the Internet has been a laboratory for social innovation. One of the most unexpected collective discoveries has been the existence of another mode of organization to achieve large−scale co−ordination. This mode relies neither on the market, where price signals perform important co−ordinating functions horizontally (as Friedrich Hayek famously stated), nor on public and private bureaucracies, where commands facilitate vertical co−ordination.1 Rather, it relies on voluntary co−operation to enhance the use value of a shared resource. Yochai Benkler dubbed this mode "commons−based peer production."2

متن کاملSolidarity in diverse societies: beyond neoliberal multiculturalism and welfare chauvinism
In the postwar period, projects of social justice have often drawn upon ideas of national solidarity, calling upon shared national identities to mobilize support for the welfare state.
