Produsers

Produsers (users producing value as they use) is a concept that stresses the merging of ‘producer’ and ‘user’. It was coined by Australian media scholar Axel Bruns and is now developed by Belgian peer-to-peer theorist Michael Bauwens to rethink the interplay between exchange value and use value for a community of users, between private property and the commons. As Caveat is an ongoing research, the produsers below are regularly updated.
