[p2p-research] Life after capitalism

[Michel Bauwens]

Hi Christian,

I will republish it on the 14th,

do you see the contradiction in your last paragraph: you support market-
based open  manufacturing, yet oppose any effort to improve the conditions
in which this would occur?

Unless you use open manufacturing in a way that it does not exist? But since
you also seem to oppose moneyless resource sharing? Are you opposed to the
open source hardware bank of the Arduino community? Do you prefer they would
use capitalist banks instead?

Or are you assuming that open manufacturers would all have read your book
and applied your scheme?

If not, what do you do in the meantime? Accept market-based manufacturing as
it now exists? Improve the conditions for such entities?

Thanks for clarifying,

Michel
