I was thinking. You are arguing that the traditional distribution model is broken. I have two comments to follow that. one, if the distribution model no longer works the corresponding production and consumption models must also be broken. It seems that the change in production (ie cheap digital production along with the internet)has destroyed the traditional distribution and consumption models too. This is unusually tech deterministic of me. two - Yes the models are not working but someone is making a profit however indirectly so this phenomenon is still working within the capitalist system. I love the idea of a broken capitalist system but I don't this that is happening. I think the capitalist system is still there and has adapted faster than we have been able to theorize. but I'm not studying economics. How has capitalism adapted this most recent change in mode of production? hi jed… good blog. I was thinking. You are arguing that the traditional distribution model is broken.
