Économie de partage et l'organisation associative

Y a-t-il une autre façon de s'organiser dans notre économie ?

DEn raison de l'évolution des défis économiques, sociétaux et écologiques, nous nous posons la question de savoir si un autre type d'organisation économique est possible. Des expériences avec des organisations associatives et la montée en puissance d'organisations comme Uber et AirB&B montrent des pistes alternatives et perturbent notre modèle capitaliste classique.

Ceci dit, on pourrait aussi se demander si certaines de ces modèles soit disant ‘peer to peer’ ne sont pas des ‘super capitalistes’ déguisés en faisant des milliards et en transformant les ‘membres’ en esclaves modernes ...?

Bauwens & Kostakis., (2014) Network Society and Future Scenarios for a Collaborative Economy.

The thinking about distributed leadership in classic organizations is recently 'rivaled' or at least complemented by thinking about collababorative and peer-to-peer economy and organizations.

It's difficult to evaluate the importance of that collaborative economy as part of the overall economy, but this adjacent picture at least gives us some idea.

It is a social dynamic between computers and between people, signalling the birth of a new social order: peer-to-peer (P2P). It builds on the idea that peer-to-peer infrastructures are gradually becoming the general conditions of work, economy, and society, considering peer production as a social advancement within capitalism but with various post-capitalistic aspects in need of protection, enforcement, stimulation and connection with progressive social movements. Using a four-scenario approach, the authors seek to simplify possible outcomes and to explore relevant trajectories of the current techno-economic paradigm within and beyond capitalism.

The P2P Foundation is a knowledge commons and a global community of researchers and advocates that monitors the emergence of peer to peer dynamics in society, i.e. through peer production, governance, and property models that are characterized by open access, partipatory process of governance, and property formats that guarantee universal access.

Michel Bauwens., (2006). The Political Economy of Peer Production
Michel Bauwens, et al., (2012). Synthetic Overview of the Collaborative Economy.
Kathleen Stokes, Emma Carence, Lauren Anderson, April Rinne., (2014). Making Sense of the UK Collaborative Economy.

In these videos you hear Michel Bauwens explain how he sees evolving a number of Peer to Peer oraganizations back into forms of Capitalism, away from the original idea of the Sharing Economy.
