This proposal is based on the policy document prepared by the author (Dafermos 2014) on behalf of the FLOK Society research project, with the aim of developing a set of public policy proposals for the transformation of the productive matrix in Ecuador towards a social knowledge economy. However, while the official FLOK version focuses on a specific country, the aim of the present version is to address the need – which is urgently felt in many countries around the world – to develop a radical alternative to the domination of cognitive capitalism. As such, this chapter could be considered a ‘non-country specific’ version of the original FLOK document.
