Valve Rules

Not sure about what is being omitted or not, considering the author is employed by the entity he is writing about, but Yanis Varoufakis is a highly reputable and insightful economist so benefit of the doubt is probably applicable.

Also kudos to Valve for choosing this man (and not some hack like most corporations do) to be their in-house economist. Also, the subject matter this man is discussing (ie alternatives to command-control corporate capitalism) is not something that is usually allowed to be discussed on a blog owned by a for-profit corporation. The comments are very good as well.

Of course, considering the nature of Valve and its organization and its owners' philosophy, all this shouldn't come as a surprise either. The massive success of a company like this given the current environment is very encouraging. These are exciting ideas. 

Also if we didn't already know this, Valve rules.
