Science fiction book describing the economics of a post-capitalist society.

Description

"I think I have made a case that the economics of Walkaway does, indeed, fill our bill of "imagining an economic system completely different from what we have". Human nature is conceived as leaving plenty of space for "programming" societies by educating individuals. The engine of progress is competition between different protocols for cooperating. Individual freedom guarantees efficiency, because people will not waste their time making stupid shit like network-connected 200 EUR garbage bins. The economy of Walkaway produces different things, in different ways and for different goals than the default economy we all live in."
