Going beyond the Sharing Economy, an event in Gijón, Spain | P2P Foundation

Going beyond the Sharing Economy, an event in Gijón, Spain | P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
It’ll be interesting to see Neal Gorenflo speak about the current state of the Sharing Economy and what that means to who, exactly, specially given his recent powerful opinion pieces on the subject. I’m also happy to see that Beyond the Sharing Economy will be grounded in its local context, as supporting the host city, Gijón, is one of the raisons d’etre of the event. As they say, “each one of our guests will drive or support a new project in Gijón during 2015 in association with other European, American, or Australian cities. This means new opportunities for the city and the people living in it.” This is a refreshing approach, closer to the ideals of the Sharing Cities Network than to other nominally “community-based” efforts with centralised, absentee technologies.

As host of the weekly C-Realm podcast, KMO holds a singular position, acting as facilitator for a wide range of perspectives on economics, consciousness, resource depletion, techno-utopianism, climate change, etc. KMO’s own evolving worldview combines all of the above into a very unique and nuanced analysis that informs the underlying, and not always immediately evident, C-Realm narrative.

Gordon Cook has been kind enough to transcript Michel Bauwens’ presentation at last year’s Border’s to Cross Conference in Amsterdam. We’ve also included the video at the end for good measure, (so you can see Michel being “invited” offstage for going over his allotted time).

Sharing economy, direct economy, p2p production… what a mess! | P2P Foundation

Sharing economy, direct economy, p2p production… what a mess! | P2P Foundation | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
The “sharing economy” is educating us for living in an economy with increasing non-market spaces, but it is the continuum of practices that today link up the “direct economy” and the “p2p mode of production” what will take us “beyond,” towards a new way of producing and sharing.

Continuing our coverage of FLOK Society’s recent “Buen Conocer” summit, we’re glad to present this special long-form conversation between Open Access chronicler Richard Poynder and Michel Bauwens, held just before the summit took place. The interview is specially noteworthy for being a very honest across-the-board examination of FLOK as a process, including both its virtues and the unavoidable pitfalls it has faced.
