Sharing
"Through a remarkably broad cross-industry synthesis, Matthew David demonstrates how information industries could benefit by adjusting market mechanisms to support the vitality of sharing-based economies. Anyone with a serious interest in intellectual property policy and practice should read this provocative case for building business models around sharing."

"Matthew David has written a thought-provoking book that challenges the view that property rights are the only solution to the 'tragedy of the commons'.
