Chris Anderson on Makers and Manufacturing

Author Chris Anderson talks with host Russ Roberts about his new book, Makers, the story of how technology is transforming the manufacturing business. He argues that the plummeting prices of 3D printers and other tabletop design and manufacturing tools allows for individuals to enter manufacturing and for manufacturing to become customized in a way that was unimaginable until recently. Anderson explores how social networking interacts with this technology to create a new world of crowd-sourced design and production.
