I mentioned the term “P2P” a couple of times in my earlier posts. The experts in P2P are the people in the P2P Foundation, led by Michel Bauwens, and the Indianos (English or Spanish). …

The aim of this book is not to provide yet another critique of capitalism but rather to contribute to the ongoing dialogue for post-capitalist construction, and to discuss how another world could be possible. We build on the idea that peer-to-peer infrastructures are gradually becoming the general conditions of work, economy, and society, considering peer production as a social advancement within capitalism but with various post-capitalistic aspects in need of protection, enforcement, stimulation and connection with progressive social movements. Using a four-scenario approach, we attempt to simplify possible outcomes and to explore relevant trajectories of the current techno-economic paradigm within and beyond capitalism. The first part of the book begins with an introduction (chapters 1 and 2) of the techno-economic paradigm shifts theory, which sees capitalism as a creative destruction process. Such a dynamic, innovation-based understanding of economic and societal development arguably allows for an integral bird's-eye-view of future scenarios (chapter 3) within and beyond the dominant system. Sharing the conviction that the globalized economy is at a critical turning point, we describe the four future scenarios; namely, netarchical capitalism, distributed capitalism, resilient communities and global Commons. Netarchical and distributed capitalism (chapters 4 and 5) are parts of the wider value mode of cognitive capitalism and form, what we call “the mixed model of neo-feudal cognitive capitalism” (chapter 6). On the other hand, the resilient communities (chapter 7) and the global Commons (chapter 8) reside in the hypothetical model of mature peer production under civic dominance. We postulate that the mature peer production communities pose a sustainable alternative to capital accumulation, that of the circulation of the Commons. Hence, we make some tentative transition proposals towards a Commons-based economy and society for the state, the market and the civic domain (chapter 9). Finally, we conclude with remarks and suggestions for future actions.

P2P is first of all a relational dynamic, in which agents (people or computers) can connect to each other directly, without having to ask permission of any intermediaries, and therefore also can self-organize form the bottom up. P2P in this context is thus essentially a particular 'network structure'.

Peer-to-peer is an improvement over capitalism. The basis idea of the P2P Foundation is that the world is presently based on a combination of two totally wrong assumptions: that the natural material world is infinite (pseudo-abundance), and that we need to create artificial scarcity to insure intellectual-property based progress.

By Maxigas, researcher, Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3-UOC). Peer to peer superpowers In this blog entry I summon the Light Side and also the Dark Side, then ask what binds them together. So my answer to the Open Thoughts 2014 Question ― How many peers does it take to change a light bulb? ― is “3”. Namely, Rebel General Dodonna, the Emperor Palpatine himself and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Open Thoughts for Open Force! 1. General Dodonna: “May the Force be with you” Peer production is about creating and maintaining common resources collaboratively. The Internet enables informal mass collaboration on immaterial goods.

Quite recently I’ve had the chance to participate to Pisa’s Internet Festival, one of the biggest Italian event about the Internet (as per the name). I was the curator of an entire conference afternoon that was dedicated to the theme of the sharing economy (or the collaborative economy as I very much more like to call it lately).

ince the beginning, we wanted ‘a thousand tomorrows‘ not only to point to future-related happenings out there in the world, but also to dig into the minds of people at the forefront of developments which are redefining our future or have the potential to do so. Via interview sessions we would like to share with you a look through their eyes into today’s and tomorrow’s possible world(s). In our first interview, we’ll take a closer look into the fascinating peer-to-peer (r)evolution, together with Michel Bauwens.

De stad van de toekomst: hoe ziet die eruit? Tom Kniesmeijer, ‘toekomstpsycholoog’ en initiator van de jaarlijkse TrendRede, heeft daarop het antwoord. Hij heeft vijf trends benoemd die het stedelijke leven nu al beïnvloeden en die in de komende decennia wel eens bepalend zouden kunnen zijn. Agenda Stad vroeg hem deze trends uit te werken, waarna Kniesmeijer in gesprek ging met verschillende experts, bestuurders en ondernemers. Het resultaat is een vlot leesbaar digitaal magazine*: De Stad van de Toekomst Besturen.

P2P refers to peer-to-peer or person-to-person. In the context of Cooperation2015, it signifies a larger movement or body of thought that we now possess the understanding and technology to reshape our world into a more sustainable, human-oriented set of societies. In this article, I will attempt to list some basics that help define p2p. Here is an interview with Michel Bauwensintroducing the concept of p2p.

A new way to produce is emerging. By this I mean: a new way to produce anything and everything, whether it is software, food, or cities. What once required rigid organisations and a society defined by the mentality of hierarchies, we are discovering now (and in many cases re-discovering) how to do through free association of peers.
