Ten New Practices of the Great Transition

In this very recent video lecture Michel Bauwens focuses on value practices by peer production communities and in particular on the notion of ‘value sovereignty’, as a post-capitalist practice, and how to envisage it. The lecture took place on November 14 at the Kaaiteater in Brussels, Belgium.

From the original notes to the video

Which new social structure are we evolving towards? Michel Bauwens tries to work this out by looking at contemporary practices that address the challenges of the future in the most direct way. He identifies an exponential growth of civil initiatives that experiment both locally and globally with new models and solutions. Behind the scenes, an entirely new set of values is being built up, with discoveries such as new types of contributory accounting to manage common property, open logistics systems for the circular economy, and so on. Michel Bauwens and the network of researchers into the emerging commons-based economy present a summary of 10 years of research.
• Michel Bauwens is a Belgian cyber philosopher and founder of the P2P Foundation, which carries out research into peer-to-peer-networks and practices. In 2013, together with Jean Lievens, he published the book De Wereld Redden, met peer-to-peer naar een post-kapitalistische samenleving (‘Saving the World: towards a post-capitalist society with peer to peer’).

    After Michel’s main talk, there are some great questions and answers. I’m wondering if these could also be documented, perhaps even, if possible, ideally, with names of and links to the questioners?
