Description

Adam Fish:

"The founders, G. Ritzer and N. Jurgenson, have written a rather experimental text “Production, Consumption, Prosumption: The Nature of Capitalism in the Age of the Digital “Prosumer.” In it, they posit that a new form of capitalism is emerging based on free digital handouts and collaborative consumption. Not as corporate/complicit as Axel Bruns and his notion of liberated and transformational ‘produsage,’ prosumption retains an element of critique, curiosity, and concern over this emergent digital economy."
