"While Benkler has identified social production and peer production
as important phenomena, he appears to consider them relevant only
for certain niches of production, such as information goods. In this
text we will discuss whether this limitation to niches—even important
niches such as information goods—is justified or whether it under-
estimates the potential of peer production. To put it in other words:
Is a society possible in which peer production is the primary mode of
production? If so, how could such a society be organized?"
