CreatingAndSharingWealth with Google
The statement: We are are working for free (as bloggers and posters in forums) to make an fascinating reading background for GoogleAds, is not quite the truth, since GooglePays the authors by clickrates. (Continued as SideWikiComment)

But the current model might not even pay the minimal costs of living for most of the authors.
We should enter the dialogue with Google how to increase the life conditions for all people involved and this is really a hard problem, that can only be solved in a collaborative way, (See SideWikiComment)

“Nonsense”?
He is saying we (as a networked culture) need to value individual creativity and productivity, and we need more modes of exchange based on abundance, not scarcity.
“Bottom-up-value creation”? Sounds excellent to me.

Jumbled and reactionary. Near useless.
In terms of economics, his arguments are unclear and historically inaccurate. I agree that we need peer-peer money systems, but they are still going to be based on scarce money (or else you get unlimited inflation.)
In terms of culture, he’s startlingly reactionary and backwards-looking. “We haven’t had new music in 20 years”? Wikipedia is a “copy of encyclopedia britannica”? Come on.

Yes, money as currently configured is a scheme for the few to extract wealth from everyone else without really having to do or produce anything new of value. But it is only half the tale. Monopoly owners of land and natural resources obtain and receive a wholly unearned income by charging the rest of us for access to our own planet. Every thing we do for free increases land value and we all then have to pay more for access. This is why free/open source doesn’t yet work in theory or practice.
