	Ikoniadou, Immaterial Labour in the Digital Economy
		However, digitalization is never merely a technological process, but a social and cultural one as well, which can potentially affect and even alter our perception of knowledge, power relations, the nature of labour and even our own bodies.
		According to Barbrook, the new economy of the Internet era is called "the digital economy"; its workers are "the digital artisans," and their "tools" the new technologies, that is, computer networks.
		This article is concerned with looking at the gift economy as internal part of the late capitalist economy, rather than as a single, ideological space of resistance, demonstrating how current forms of cultural labour constitute capital's main source of profit in contemporary digital economy, and move away from the Marxist model of production.

	Finance & Development, December 1999 - Issues for the New Millennium - Governance in the Digital Economy
		In its wake, the digital revolution will remake the two distinct yet intertwined relationships between people and their governments: the one between the government and the citizen as customer or consumer of public services, and the other between the government and the citizen as owner or shareholder.
		In the digital era, no less than a radical rethinking of the nature and functioning of the organization called government is required; no less than a dramatic transformation of the citizen-government and business-government relationships will result.
		The economy was too complex, and, more important, the cost (in both time and money) of transacting all those arrangements was far too high to proceed with anything other than a highly organized, semipermanent structure called the firm.

	Understanding the Digital Economy:
		When I say "digital economy," I mean to emphasize the convergence of computing and communications technologies in the Internet and the resulting flow of information and technology thatis stimulating all of electronic commerce and vast organizational change.
		One of the inescapable aspects of life in the new digital economy is the flood of unwanted messages that arrive every day in our e-mail – jokes, "top ten" lists, dictionaries of Southern slang, phony virus warnings, internet hoaxes, etc., many that are sent to us by friends.
		In some sectors of the digital economy innovation may be closer to the processes of scientific research than to the incremental development of new manufactured products.

	The Digital Economy in International Perspective -- Analytical Summary and Report
		In contrast, the digital economy is—as Stephen Cohen and John Zysman like to say—analogous to the enclosure of the common lands in early modern Britain that paved the way for the economic agricultural revolution that paved the way for the British industrial revolution.
		Because the digital age is new and assumed to be positive, the implication is that governance and regulatory structures developed prior to the digital age are inadequate, obsolete, and thus require renovation.
		The increasingly global character of the digital economy has prompted advocacy of international governance bodies, the incorporation of foreign interests in American dominated institutions, and the development of new organizational forms for governance of the digital economy such as privatized or quasi-private governance institutions.

	Democratic Leadership Council: Technology & Innovation: Digital Government
		As we come to the end of the first decade of digital government, policy makers have the chance to reshape government online so that it is centered on citizens, not bureaucracy.
		But digital government is important enough in and of itself to be funded by government, not by corporate ad revenues.

		Accordingly, the digital workers are described as resisting or supporting the project of capital, often in direct relation to their positions in the networked, horizontal, and yet hierarchical world of knowledge work.
		In Levy's view, the digital economy highlights the impossibility of absorbing intelligence within the process of automation: unlike the first wave of cybernetics, which displaced workers from the factory, computer networks highlight the unique value of human intelligence as the true creator of value in a knowledge economy.
