• summary

• learned something new
  • I learned a number of new ideas from reading Michel's article. He gives a brief meta-history of our political-socio-economic system, using Peter Pogany's framework of Global System One, Two and Three and within this argues for why a marriage of blockchain systems and cosmolocal production systems could create a "fourth sector" for the transition to Global System Three.
  • He cites evidence of existing trends already pointing in this direction, drawing from his research in P2P Foundation

• for: GS3, Global System Three transition, mutual coordination economics

• paraphrase

  • GS3 will be more difficult than GS2
  • social contract needs to be updated to include
    • new relation with nature and non-human beings
    • stronger multilateral relasionships to protect the planet
  • In Michel's view, a cosmolocal coordination will be required
  • The alternative is coercive eco-fascism to prevent massive ecological damage while we continue to overconsume planetary resources
  • definition: mutual coordination economics
    • an economic system that maximizes freedom of choice within earth system boundaries with minimal coercion
    • it is a new synthesis of markets, states and commons via decentralized p2p networks
