the Benkler-Carr wager - Peer produced or price incentivized?



Back in July 2006, Nicholas Carr (editor of Havard Business Review) made a bet with Yochai Benkler (a teacher of law from Yale & Harvard), concerning the future the internet. They envisioned the future of the most influential sites on the internet. Nicholas Carr argues that in the future the most influential sites will be dominated by price incentivized sites (content provided by paid workers) whereas Yochai Benkler argues that in the future the most influential sites will be commons based peer production (as wikipedia, youtube and flickr).


I think Benkler is right...
