What becomes possible when we harness our collective capacity in service of the commons?

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.

When I received an invitation to attend the Economics and the Commons conference (Berlin, 2013), I was delighted. The commons is alive in me. It is a new/old paradigm that reconnects with, and brings innovative thinking to, the social and ecological issues important to our collective well-being. I was certain that if ever a conference exemplified cutting-edge group processes, this would be it.

The issue, as we’ve known for more than a decade, is that every recentralization, even if done on a citizen platform, has a high social cost: the devaluation of the conversation and the emergence of control. All it takes is experiencing distributed architectures to enter a completely different world. That’s why, if we want create a strategy of civic reappropriation of the “sharing economy,” we have to look to what is spearheading distributed architectures today: GNU social, the Free Software Foundation project that is having the most social impact and growing fastest in users and instances.

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.
