Book of the Day: Decontaminating the Economy Through a Monetary Revolution | P2P Foundation

“There is an alternative to disaster capitalism and to the dictatorship of the financial markets. It requires a revolution in our concepts about money, share-capital, labour-remuneration and land-real estate. In this first volume by Michel Laloux, we discover a triple circulation of money – for everyday consumption, financing enterprises and the contribution to the non-merchant economy. This triple circulation of money is therefore at the service of the real economy and dispenses with the fictitious and with speculation. Three forms of monetary institutions are conceived as a new type of public service, run by civil society. These institutions will organise this threefold circulation, without recourse to investors nor to a central bank.

Communitarian movements attract to themselves many if not most of the new and progressive ideas of the times, often developing them into aspects of culture which then influences change within the dominant culture. Those ideas may arise in the dominant culture, or may be adapted from indigenous tribal cultures, or from foreign cultures, or from within the intentional community movement itself. From where ever the ideas come, in community they are developed in the context of small-scale human society, with relevant or appropriate versions of the cultural innovations then disseminated to the dominant culture as they prove to be viable. In this way intentional communities serve as “crucibles of culture,” or as Corinne McLaughlin and Gordon Davidson wrote in 1986 in their book, Builders of the Dawn: Community Lifestyles in a Changing World, as “research and development” societies, providing along with their criticisms of the dominant culture many constructive solutions to problems of the “outside world.” (McLaughlin and Davidson, p. 40)

This years OHSummit will be about the transition “From Open Making to Open Manufacturing”. Our focus is to broaden the definition of what open hardware means: production models are shifting from one to one, to one to many structure. The way we think about our tools, transforms the electronics, houses, furniture- anything and everything we depend on. How we live and relate depends on it.
