+## Economics
+
+A very liberal point of view:
+
+* Homesteading the Noosphere: "customs that regulate the ownership and control
+  of open-source software [...] imply an underlying theory of property rights
+  homologous to the Lockean theory of land tenure" (65).
+
+* Open Source as a gift economy like a reputation game (81 - 83):
+
+    Most ways humans have of organizing are adaptations to scarcity
+    and want. Each way carries with it different ways of gaining social status.
+
+    The simples way is the _command hierarchy_ [where] scarce goods are allocated
+    by onde central authority and backed up by force. Command hierarchies scale
+    very poorly; they become increasingly inefficient as they get larger.
+
+    [...]
+
+    Our society is predominantly an exchange economy. This is a sofisticated
+    adaptation to scarcity that, unlike the command model, scales quite well.
+    Allocation of scarce goods is done in a decentralized way through trade
+    and voluntary coopreation.
+
+    [...]
+
+    Gift cultures are adaptations not to scarcity but to abundance. They arise
+    in populations that do not have significant material scarcity problems
+    with survival goods.
+
+    [...]
+
+    Abundance makes command relationships difficult to sustain and exchange
+    relationships an almost pointless game. In gift cultures, social status
+    is determined not by what you control but by _what you give away_.

+
+He also explains that the reputation game is not the only drive in the
+bazaar-style ecosystem: satisfation, love, the "joy of craftsmanship" are also
+motivations for software development (pages 82-83), which is compatible
+with the gift economy model:
+
+    How can one maximize quality if there is no metric for quality?
+    If scarcity economics doesn't operate, what metrics are available
+    besides peer evaluation?
+
+    Other respondents related peer-esteem rewards and the joy of hacking
+    to the levels above subsistence needs in Abraham Maslow's well-known
+    'hierachy of values' model of human motivation.
