En este su último libro, Chris Anderson, el consagrado inventor del término de la economía Long Tail sigue analizando el futuro de las sociedades que vienen. En este libro se adentro en lo que llama los "Makers", personas que diseñan y producen sus propios productos.Para Anderson, el desarrollo de las impresoras en tres dimensiones y los nuevos programas de diseño, permitiran que en cada casa se puedan producir los articulos que se necesiten.Esto producira una revolucion copernicana en la industria, ya que si bien habra articulos que sigan siendo producidos a escalas enormes y globalmente, muchos otros seran producidos localmente, en nuestras propias casas.Asi como los procesadores de texto y las impresoras permitieron que cualquier persona escriba un libro, asi como las grabadoras de video y musica permiten que cualquier adolescente haga su propia pelicula o grabe un disco, en el futuro cercano, cualquier persona podra hacer lo que quiera o necesite segun su creatividad.Anderson analiza las consecuencias que puede causar esta nueva sociedad industrial.

The new economics of culture and commerce What happens when there is almost unlimited choice? When everything becomes available to everyone? And when the combined value of the millions of items that only sell in small quantities equals or even exceeds the value of a handful of best-sellers?In this ground-breaking book, Chris Anderson shows that the future of business does not lie in hits the high-volume end of a traditional demand curve but in what used to be regarded as misses the endlessly long tail of that same curve. As our world is transformed by the Internet and the near infinite choice it offers consumers, so traditional business models are being overturned and new truths revealed about what consumers want and how they want to get it. Chris Anderson first explored the Long Tail in an article in Wired magazine that has become one of the most influential business essays of our time. Now, in this eagerly anticipated book, he takes a closer look at the new economics of the Internet age, showing where business is going and exploring the huge opportunities that exist: for new producers, new e-tailers, and new tastemakers. He demonstrates how long tail economics apply to industries ranging from the toy business to advertising to kitchen appliances. He sets down the rules for operating in a long tail economy. And he provides a glimpse of a future thats already here.

Chris AndersonWhat happens when advances in technology allow many things to be produced for more or less nothing? And what happens when those things are then made available to the consumer for free? This book considers a different world where the old economic certainties are undermined by a flood of free goods - newspapers, DVDs, T shirts, and phones. In the future, he argues, when we talk of the 'money economy' we will talk of the 'reputation economy' and the 'time economy' in the same breath, and our world will never be the same again.

Chris Anderson, autor de uno de los ensayos que más ha influido al mundo empresarial en los últimos años, La economía Long Tail, vuelve con otro título capaz de hacer historia: Gratis. Con su perspicacia unica para localizar los fenomenos mas significativos del mercado, en este nuevo libro explora un hecho ya constatado: el futuro esta en el negocio de lo gratuito. Lejos de lo que pudiera parecer, lo gratuito no supone perdidas sino enormes beneficios: regalando, es posible hacer dinero. El entorno virtual, donde los costes tienden a cero, representa un buen ejemplo de ello, con negocios como Google, Facebook o Wikipedia. Pero fuera de la Red encontramos tambien buenos ejemplos, como los diarios gratuitos. Hoy, a diferencia del siglo XX dice Chris Anderson- la gratuidad no es un truco, un sistema de marketing, sino un modelo economico absolutamente nuevo. Para conocer a fondo el fenomeno y ser competitivo en este nuevo mercado, Gratis supone una lectura obligatoria.

Con la llegada de Internet, un nuevo fenómeno invade el mercado, la industria y la sociedad. Se trata de la "larga cola", término acuñado por Chris Anderson y que resuena ya en los medios de comunicacion de todo el mundo. La "larga cola" es la tendencia por la cual, gracias a la tecnologia, el mercado de masas se esta conviertiendo en un mercado de nichos: por primera vez en la sociedad de consumo, la venta de pequeñas cantidades es rentable. Y para el autor de este libro, esta novedad marcara la industria en un futuro muy proximo: en el siglo XXI, dominara el mercado quien sea capaz de acaparar las ventas minoritarias, esa larga cola que se extiende detras de los hits casi hasta el infinito. El analista Chris Anderson nos ofrece el estudio mas completo de una realidad que ya esta aqui gracias a empresas como Google, Amazon o Rhapsody. Una obra de rabiosa actualidad esencial para empresarios, economistas y para todo aquel que quiera comprender el alcance de este fenomeno y sus implicaciones.

The online economy offers challenges to traditional businesses as well as incredible opportunities. Chris Anderson makes the compelling case that in many instances businesses can succeed best by giving away more than they charge for. Known as "Freemium," this combination of free and paid is emerging as one of the most powerful digital business models. In Free, Chris Anderson explores this radical idea for the new global economy and demonstrates how it can be harnessed for the benefit of consumers and businesses alike. In the twenty-first century, Free is more than just a promotional gimmick: Its a business strategy that is essential to a companys successful future.

A cult figure among loyalists, despised and feared by nationalists, Billy King Rat Wright is reputed to have been involved in a number of sectarian murders before he himself was shot dead by republican gunmen inside the MazePrison in 1997.Wright became involved with loyalist paramilitaries at the age of 16, and in the early 1990s he emerged as the UVF commander in the Mid-Ulster area. The Billy Boy documents Wrights role in the Drumcree dispute of 1995-96 and his split from the UVF, recounting how he ignored both a death threat and an order to leave Northern Ireland, only to remain in Portadown and form the Loyalist Volunteer Force. It covers Wrights trial and subsequent imprisonment for a crime it has been claimed was set up by the State; recounts the circumstances of his killing inside a top-security prison; and investigates the allegations of State collusion in Wrights death.Terrifically gripping and often disturbing, The Billy Boy is an exhaustive account of a notorious figure of the Troubles, whose life and death were surrounded by controversy and political debate.

What happens when advances in technology allow many things to be produced for more or less nothing? And what happens when those things are then made available to the consumer for free?In his groundbreaking new book, The Long Tail author Chris Anderson considers a brave new world where the old economic certainties are being undermined by a growing flood of free goods - newspapers, DVDs, T-shirts, phones, even holiday flights. He explains why this has become possible - why new technologies, particularly the Internet, have caused production and distribution costs in many sectors to plummet to an extent unthinkable even a decade ago. He shows how the flexibility provided by the online world allows producers to trade ever more creatively, offering items for free to make real or perceived gains elsewhere. He pinpoints the winners and the losers in the Free universe. And he demonstrates the ways in which, as an increasing number of things become available for free, our decisions to make use of them will be determined by two resources far more valuable than money: the popular reputation of what is on offer and the time we have available for it. In the future, he argues, when we talk of the money economy we will talk of the reputation economy and the time economy in the same breath, and our world will never be the same again.

**Picked by Bill Gates for his summer reading list**Recent years have been tough on optimists. Hopes that the Internet might bring people together have been crushed by the ills of social media. Is there a way back?Chris Anderson, the head of TED, believes that we can turn outrage back into optimism. It all comes down to reimagining one of the most fundamental human virtues: generosity. What if generosity could become infectious generosity? Consider: how a London barber began offering haircuts to people experiencing homelessness - and catalysed a movement how two anonymous donors gave $10,000 each to 200 strangers and discovered that most recipients wanted to pay it forward with their own generous acts how TED itself transformed from a niche annual summit into a global beacon of ideas by giving away talks online, allowing millions access to free learningIn telling these inspiring stories, Anderson offers a playbook for how to embark on our own generous acts - whether gifts of money, time, talent, connection, or kindness - and to prime them, thanks to the Internet, to have self-replicating, world-changing impacts.
