[p2p-research] the salinas coop in ecuador, a model of a p2p market model?

[Michel Bauwens]

see this must read article:  http://www.commoner.org.uk/blog/?p=239

(Kevin, I'm hoping you can mention and add some comments for our p2p blog,
this is a great example of combining commons oriented logics in a market
environment)

great reportage by Massimo ... this is pretty much what I envision the
transition situation to be, when commoning becomes more central within
capitalism, but with great potential for a phase transition away from it,

as you indicate, it has problems, but it is at the same time vastly superior
of the existing corporate alternatives in so many ways,

the question then becomes how to extend the commons aspects on a local and
global scale, and how to divorce market logics from capitalism as an
infinite growth system centered on endless accumulation,

Hello everybody

here is the latest reflection on a strange place we found high up on the
Ecuadorian Andes. It is quite amazing that in a desolate and far away area
 like this, you could find so much "entrepreneurship" . . .but what makes
this Salinas experience truly interesting and intriguing is the mixture of
commonism and capitalism we have found . . .
