# Peer production

Are there various types?  The one I have heard most about is [[Commons-based peer production]].

> In peer production, value is created not in exchange from a gift by another, but in exchange for **the emotional and spiritual value, and recognition, that derives from working on a project of common value**.

"the emotional and spiritual value, and recognition, that derives from working on a project of common value" sounds like a pretty good driver of value.
