Shaping the future of finance

Everything should be free …

My
last blog referred to the Wall Street Journal, and I suddenly realised
that I could get this stuff for free ... what's happening?  It used to
cost me an arm and a leg for a view of the WSJ?


Ahhh ... they've made bits of it free. Must be because so many bloggers out there aren't charging an arm and a leg, so they had to open up to compete.

Now, who's next?  The Financial Times?  The Economist?  The Banker?

Actually a lot of their stuff is free too.

In fact, everything should be free ...

... or that's what Chris Anderson, editor of Wired magazine and author of the Long Tail, thinks.  It's also the title of his new book.  Have a look at what he's thinking on this video.

I wonder if his book will be free?
