Dear friends and subscribers:

We continue the prepublication of Adam Arvidsson's remarkable book on the Ethical Economy. Remarkable because it is able to hold on to two important truths: 1) that advances in participation are being made; 2) that those advances are being mediated and incorporated into a new method of control, which relies on 'affective apparatuses'. His contribution brings the often sterile debate on Web 2.0 'exploitation' on a whole new level of comprehension.
