P2P Public Intellectuals

Context

A list of people oriented towards thinking about a sharing, commons, p2p oriented society.

For a cooperative publishing project with Shareable.

We aim to interview two people per month, with possible publication of interview book.

Directory

• part of a general dialogue on the construction of a p2p world

• • associated in some fashion with our work at the P2P Foundation

Please note, a lot of people whom I find very interesting are not in here, because I or they do not necessarily see their work as part of this particular emergence

Thanks for suggesting names, and rationales for adding them.
