i've been reading an incredible book called The Wealth of Networks by Yochai Benkler. the subtitle is "How social production transforms markets and freedom". the title is obviously a reference to Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, which is the original "liberal" in "neoliberal" -- the bible of modern free-marketism.

progressive tech-politico, Stanford law professor, and all-around swell guy Lawrence Lessig had a great discussion with Amy Goodman on thursday's Democracy Now (~17:00).

topics covered included:
* net neutrality
* creative commons and copyright on Internet
* his "change congress" campaign
* the role of media in reforming government

Lessig is able to spell out these concepts clearly and simply, so if you've ever wondered what exactly "net neutrality" is, have a listen.
