[governance] On the death of neo-liberalism

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Most people need and even depend on a market economy in day to day life, leave alone the Internet.

Unless you'd rather grow your own corn and cotton, cook over a fire of deadwood started by two flints, shoot animals with a home made bow and arrow for your meat and clothing / footwear etc.

The Internet is an intersection of several market economies and the economics of these are fascinating. There are a variety of papers on this and even some formal university economics courses include it.
