““The question for the past decade was, Is this real?” says Yale law professor Yochai Benkler. “The question for the next half-decade is, How do you make this damned thing work?” Benkler is a leading prophet of today’s gift economy, and he fits the part: his bounteous beard resembles Kropotkin’s. He was treasurer of a kibbutz, a cooperative farm, in his native Israel. He doesn’t mind being called utopian. But neither does Benkler dream of a world without capitalism. Instead, he has become an unlikely business guru, with a shop at the intersection of Commerce and Cooperation. “It’s very cool,” he says. “I find myself talking to all sorts of weird hackers one day and chief economists of major corporations the next day, and they’re all interested in similar things.””
