The Android Operating System is a derivation of Linux Kernal and Unix operating system that gain their success from an incentive system that incentives development through self-consuption and sharing of innovation through the ability to obtain improvement that other developers made to the code. Software like Android OS are artificially scarce goods that differs from the private good from the lack of cost to accommodate more consumers. The high fixed cost relative to variable cost of artificially scarce goods and the network externality problem where the quality of a good depends on the number of its users cause a lot of problem to free market system. The Capitalists tried to make artificially scarce good function like private good with the intellectual property right to fit it into the Capitalism system, but it often lead to monopoly and legal loophole that allow thief of intellectual property. The increasing importance of artificially scarce goods like software and knowledge in the international economy is exposing the flaws of Capitalism that focus solely on explicit monetary incentive.
