Jelina Haines published a co-authored book sharing an extensive legal, moral, and ethical infrastructure that supports business transactions and economic values in the industry. This infrastructure is grounded in the concepts of tangible property, its production, and its consumption. Today, we have a deeper understanding of the nature of knowledge and its unique economic properties and behaviours. We now understand that a reinterpretation is needed to ensure that healthy and trusted economic knowledge markets exist. Knowledge Ethics for the Knowledge Economy explores whether an extension or a redefinition of the legal, moral, and ethical infrastructure is needed.
