Yochai Benkler is the Berkman Professor of Entrepreneurial Legal Studies at Harvard Law School. He is a co-director of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society and faculty director of the Program on Law and Political Economy at Harvard Law School. He spent much of the past twenty-five years writing about the political economy of digital technologies, focusing on how struggles over commodification or decommodification of access to the basic resources necessary for information, knowledge, and cultural production are a central determinant of freedom in twenty-first century society. His current work expands on that work to conceptualize how struggle over institutions, technology, and ideology has shaped power and productivity throughout the history of capitalism. His books include A Political Economy of Justice (University of Chicago Press, 2022), co-edited with Danielle Allen, Rebecca Henderson, Leah Downey, and Josh Simons; Network Propaganda: Manipulation, Disinformation, and Radicalization in American Politics (Oxford University Press 2018), and The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom (Yale University Press 2006). He is currently working on a book under the working title of The Global Origins of Capitalism: The Evolution of Modern Institutional Political Economy (Oxford University Press, forthcoming 2024).
