SPT (Research in Philosophy and Technology) - Volume 11, Number 1 - Theorizing Technological and Institutional Change: Alienability, Rivalry and Exclusion Cost by Paul Thompson: "The concepts of alienability, rivalry and exclusion cost and the theoretical framework of institutional change allow us to pose questions that have been asked by Herbert Marcuse, Langdon Winner and Andrew Feenberg in a new way: If technology is in part responsible for the shape of our institutions, and if institutional change in the sphere of law and custom can be subjected to philosophical critique and democratic guidance, why shouldn’t technology be subjected to the same critique and guidance?"
