| =Peereconomy Category Introduction=
| |
|
| |
|
| What happens when most of the exchanges in an economy are happening between peers? How is such a thing measured or qualified?
| | This category is dedicated to the work of [[Christian Siefkes]]. His efforts to help realize the future of the peer economy, or '[[Peerconomy]]', are formulated in his book [[From Exchange to Contributions]]. |
|
| |
|
| This category of the wiki is where the collection of concepts that form the notion of the economy are looked into and worked on towards an understanding of what a Peereconomy is and how it operates.
| | Note how Siefkes spells "[[Peerconomy]]" (rather than "peereconomy", the spelling used for this category). |
|
| |
|
| The world is full of examples of trade and exchange that differ from the common conceptions of setting a price that the market will bear, and Peereconomy reaches into this space between individuals to shed light on the ways and means of people getting what they need. In many cases alternatives to Capitalism are seen as quaint and unworkable. The idea that complete disintermediation could be applied to the global economy is laughed at too often. This has very little do with the fact, though, that Peer Lending, Peer Banking, and a host of other Financial Services are becoming more common and better understood by the general public every day.

|
| Peereconomy is about how these current project are working. How are these operating, real world services using P2P, and how are the participants learning new P2P behaviors that are helping them to cope with real world situations. ven if they don't know the person they are getting it from like a brother.
| | "Is a society possible where production is driven by demand and not by profit? Where there is no need to sell anything and hence no unemployment? Where competition is more a game than a struggle for survival? Where there is no distinction between people with capital and those without? A society where it would be silly to keep your ideas and knowledge secret instead of sharing them; and where scarcity is no longer a precondition of economic success, but a problem to be worked around? |
