New articles on Yochai Benkler and Peer Production

(1) Times Online: "Mind maps for those who prefer a picture"
Yochai Benkler, a professor of law at Yale, whose new book, The Wealth of Networks, is a monumental contribution to our thinking about the future (www.benkler.org).
It is not an easy book. It is not a short book. But it is profoundly important. Premised on fundamental changes in the way in which information is created and shared in society, Benkler’s research and arguments anticipate a networked information economy that is increasingly underpinned by peer production and non-market collaboration, and a society in which we should be able to reshape our principles of state, justice, freedom and law.

(2) Benkler's WIKI:
his Wiki is an invitation to collaborate on building a learning and research environment based on Yochai Benkler's book, The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom.
