the internet protocol, invented in 1974 and published for free, is a ‘standard’, not a product.

only the labour-theory allows us to build models whereby zero-cost effects begin to cascade over from information into the sphere of machines and products, and from there into labour costs.

This simplified model also allows us to see really clearly how economics in a zero production cost society quickly comes to centre on energy and raw materials: they become the sector where scarcity still rules.
