Could you be very specific about this Tom, I work with post-corporate entrepreneurial coalitions and labour mutuals , and it would be of interest to me if you could explain the practicalities of how this would work ?
have you looked into contributive accounting systems like Sensorica's how does that relate to your ideas, for example: http://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Interfacing_Open_Peer_Production_Organizations_with_Classical_Institutions -- CheckFrom: Tom Walker <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [P2P-F] Fwd: [NetworkedLabour] Fwd: [Debate-List] (Fwd) Radical leisure, less work, more commoning (Eva Swidler) To: P2P Foundation mailing list <[email protected]> Message-ID: <canz+bqxmmvc9seh1rf52ghqijirv_6rcouzya_kyjgm+rpd...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" I hope this article sparks the conversation that needs to take place. It certainly raises the issues that need to be addressed. In my view, the next step in thinking about labour, leisure and the commons is to conceptualize labour power as a common pool resource. Unions have traditionally bargained for collective terms for individualized work contracts, which reinforces the selling time for money paradigm. "A fair day's work for a fair day's wage." Treating labour power as a common pool resource, however, would require the development of an entirely different, social accounting framework in which collective interests of security and community -- commonalty, to use the Luddites' term -- are prioritized. I've written a few things on labour power as a common pool resource and Paul Burkett discussed the concept in Marx and Nature.
