As part of the Google D.C. Talks series, Google’s Washington office hosted a special book talk with Chris Anderson, Editor in Chief of Wired Magazine and best-selling author of “The Long Tail.”

In his new book “Free: The Future of a Radical Price,” Anderson makes the provocative case that in many instances businesses can profit more from giving things away than they can by charging for them.

This event took place on July 7, 2009 at Google’s offices in Washington, D.C.
