We Need A Library Economy

The library has been a long-standing institution in our society, but what if we applied its philosophy more broadly? Let's imagine what it would mean to real...

Thought this was pretty interesting and entertaining. Made me dream for a while about what living in a society with a mature library economy would be like. Figured I’d share and try to get a discussion going. Enjoy!

I was just reading about car companies requiring subscription fees to “unlock” functions of the car you own.

You mean the mercedes’ “pay $1200/year to unlock better acceleration” thing? That’s fucked up.

Beehaw’s community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you’re nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it’s hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a “left vs right” debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
