I want to use this page to collate different approaches to reforming capitalism or markets.

"I'm personally fascinated by the seemingly blind collective intelligence power of mass self-organization-through-self-interest (as contrasted with "collaborative dialogue towards wisdom for the common good" which is the primary factor in my theories). Although my own theories do not adequately address market-type collective intelligence, I think that the self-organizing power of markets is fairly obvious and potentially very useful....

The trick with markets (as with other social systems) is to design them so that individual actors acting in their own self-interest NATURALLY act in the interests of the whole, as well -- or at least their collective actions add up to benign/beneficial outcomes for the whole. The fault with current markets is with their design. The current design alienates, fragments, and destroys. But that is not the fault of market operations, per se, even though they are based on self-interest. It is the fault of the particular market designs we use."
