[p2p-research] Fwd: Summary of difference between P2P Theory and P2P Social Currency

[Michel Bauwens]

I use the concept of 'peer-informed'

in all productive models, tribal gift economy, feudal hierarchical
allocation, market pricing, these modes are just dominant, but never
exclusive, but they nevertheless profoundly inform the other modes at the
margins .. (dating becoming a for-profit activity for example)

similarly the p2p ethos of communal sharing will influence market modes, as
you are trying to establish,

Michel
