What is not understood is that for P2P to work it’s utterly dependent on how our built world is organized. This is why I’m happy that Nikos’ book was ranged as the third most important last year. It’s all about self-organization, followed by restraining and evidence-based patterns. Too few economics seem to understand that to create a new system we must radically change our built environment. We must change our whole society into the human scale and a fractal ordered hierarchy. The role of the government is NOT to organize ANYTHING, but to help people ORGANIZE THEMSELVES. You cannot find any sustainable and lasting system in the whole universe and history of man that is not self-organized.
