want; a new way of getting yourself to the top of the to-do list; and
reassurance that changing your outlook doesn't have to mean walking away from
your marriage. Shaped by Levine's empathetic and lively voice, this book is

Free :
the future of a radical price
Anderson, Chris, 1961-
New York : Hyperion, c2009.
Author Chris Anderson makes the compelling case that in many instances,
businesses can profit more from giving things away than they can by charging for
them. Traditional economics operates under fundamental assumptions of scarcity--
there's only so much oil, iron, and gold in the world. But the online economy is
built upon three cornerstones: processing power, hard drive storage, and
bandwidth--and the costs of all these elements are trending toward zero at an
incredible rate. Never in the course of human history have the primary inputs to
an industrial economy fallen in price so fast and for so long. This is the
engine behind the new Free, the one that goes beyond a marketing gimmick or a
cross-subsidy. Anderson explores this radical idea for the new economy, and
demonstrates how this revolutionary price can be harnessed for the benefit of
both consumers and business alike.--From publisher description.
