For Your Radar: The "Economics Of Abundance"
In a nutshell: Economics, economies and economic theory have all been based on economics of scarcity. That is, scarcity drives the "laws" of economics. A number of things have hit the radar over the last few months that are of note:
Chris Anderson (author of "The Long Tail"): The Economics of Abundance -- The speech that Anderson made at Pop!Tech this year.
Mike Masnick: The Scarcity Myth

David Hornik: Tough Choices
