Description
"In this video, we will look into more detail into the characteristics of the emerging commons-based peer production, how the productive forces of society are horizontalisation through a process of distribution. The division of labor is moving to a system of distribution of tasks, which has many different characteristics, often the 'opposite' of the classic industrial models, but also to the increasing usage of distributed finance, distributed machinery, and other modalities that point out to an alternative mode of value creation. We will also look at the institutional framework, modes of governance, and the open business models that are used by these new players."
Nilton Lessa writes:
"Michel Bauwens in "An introduction to participatory and contributions-based peer production". Very good presentation and talk between Michel and Nicolas Mendoza.I also agree that we are witness and crowd-creators of a new production paradigm. In fact, it's a paradigm shift in the whole sociosphere. A shift that will explode the artificial notion of "THE society" towards glocal, interconnected, "fractalized", multiple social arrangements."
