Here's Bernard Stiegler's Preface to Michel Bauwens' new book, Saving the World: Towards a post-capitialist society with peer-to-peer. The Preface has been translated into English but the book as yet has not. Coming soon. An excerpt of the Preface:
"...the peer to peer model [...] as a
process of collective individuation based on the maximum expression of
the possibilities of psychic individuation for every citizen – this
installing knowledge and the culture of knowledge at the heart of
collective being, exactly the opposite of the decomposition of knowledge
that is today pushing towards what some have called the functional
stupidity of cognitive capitalism."
"... we advocate a [citizens’] contributory income, granted to everyone, in
order to cultivate their abilities (as suggested by Amartya Sen) and
provided that they regularly use those abilities in contributory
projects, themselves supported by mutual credit granted by contributory
banks, and within the most diverse forms of socialisation: associations,
public services and businesses."
