Michel Bauwens (Substack⁠ and ⁠X⁠) is a thought leader and researcher in the space of commons. Also the founder of the P2P foundation. We speak of the state of the commons, dive into the pulsation of the commons, the rise and fall of civilizations, and much more. Michel makes a beautiful argument for why we are currently moving towards a time when communities will again steward commons in ways that has not been deemed efficient for some time and why the state+market structure we are currently in is crumbling under it's own weight. Enjoy! Host: Amit Paul

In this episode, we debate with two major thinkers with different philosophies but also commonalities about governance and social evolution. Max Borders, author of “The Decentralist,” "The Social Singularity," and “After Collapse,” (a previous guest on the show) and Michel Bauwens, founder of the P2P Foundation and author of “The Political Economy of Peer Production”.The definition of “commons” is already a challenge, but we typically refer to inherited and collectively created goods, like air, oceans, and wildlife and shared institutions such as libraries, public spaces or scientific research. In Michel Bauwens definition, what is peculiar about commons is that they are governed by a community - not by market-only or state-only mechanisms.Michel is critical of both the market and state-led suppressions of local governance solutions to commons problems, where Max Border has a more proprietarian approach. These differences evolve into a deep discussion.To Michel, proprietarian solutions aren't necessarily bad - they can be enabling solutions for commons governance, especially empowered by the internet and blockchain technologies. Max Borders replies that this is a feature, not a bug - proprietarian / libertarian solutions are meant to enable pluralism.Michel's vision is one of "cosmo-local" dynamics, depicting a globally connected yet locally optimized system. As an open value network, co-production became pivotal in reallocating value from old systems to new ones through peer-to-peer capacities.We discuss the role of cryptocurrency for community-focused economic networks, the paradox of "trustless" systems and the importance of peer-to-peer exchange. We also talk about the right "exit strategies", the concept of network states and the importance of building societies that benefit local communities. All of us want to encourage more governance experimentation. Experimentation allows us to try out different ideas, and technology empowers us to scale those solutions that work from the local to the global level.More about Michel's work:* P2P Foundation* LinkedInMore about Max's work:* Underthrow Newsletter* LinkedIn Get full access to Stranded Technologies at niklasanzinger.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode, Ashley and Jason talk with Michel Bauwens about his work developing ideas for a ‘cosmo-local' society through the power of horizontal P2P networks, a reimagining of the commons, and crypto. Along the way they talk about ascending and descending civilizations, why he thinks we're in a descending one, and what that potentiates in terms of reinvigorating local societies and provisioning systems through the power of superlinear collaboration networks Michel's work can be found here: https://4thgenerationcivilization.substack.com/ https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Civilizational_Analysis

In this episode we continue Phase 2 of OTNS with Michel Bauwens, founder of the P2P Foundation. We discuss his concept of cosmo-localism which advocates for everything heavy to be local, and everything light to be global, how many medieval institutions were cosmo-local, and the implications of the rise of knowledge workers detached from physical territory. Check out a previous episode to learn more about our framework for out network stae alternative,  coordi-nations.JOIN THE BLOCKCHAINGOV DISCORD SERVER HERE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE PART IN THE CONTINUED OVERTHROW AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE RISE OF COORDI-NATIONS.Overthrowing the Network State (OTNS) is a series in collaboration with Blockchaingov where we critique The Network State  by Balaji Srinivasan while also pulling out the salvageable parts and concepts in discussion with a variety of guests.

Michel Bauwens is the founder of the P2P Foundation working in collaboration with global researchers in exploring the potential of peer production. Michel travels extensively giving workshops, and lectures on P2P, commons, and the opportunities of a post-capitalist world.

The commons is an ancient social structure of allowing for the exchange of value. The act of commoning can be defined as the act of exchanging with the ‘whole' (i.e. doing something for the self as part of a larger tribe, clan, family, rather than for the self itself). Throughout the history of human civilization more complex structural layers for exchanging value have been built on top of commoning, e.g. including equality matching value (gift economy), distributing value according to social merit (authority rank), and most recently capitalist assignment of value (market pricing). Commoning can be thought of as the foundation of inter-tribal relation of value, where the value-extension structures on top of commoning can be thought of as forms for intra-tribal relation and commodity exchange. In the age of capitalism commodity exchange has overshadowed and eroded the importance of other forms of exchange value (i.e. merit-based rankings, exchanging gifts, and commoning). But with the emergence of digital networks, commoning is re-appearing with a new qualitatively dimension, and a new social importance. This can be seen in many online communities that operate on a peer-to-peer logic, i.e. where individuals can freely connect and communicate, exchange, self-organize and create new ‘value circuits'. If these online communities can take advantage of new technological forms (e.g. blockchain, cryptocurrencies), there is the possibility for commoning to once again take center stage as the foundation for a global economy. This new center would not eliminate other forms of exchanging value (e.g. gift economy, authority rank, market pricing), but could potentially rebalance them in relation to a common tribal relation.

In Episode 35, Gregg welcomes Michel Bauwens. Michel is a theorist and developer in the emerging field of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) collaboration. He is also a writer, and conference speaker on the subject of technology, culture and business innovation. He founded the P2P Foundation, a global organization of researchers working in open collaboration in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property. In this episode, Michel recounts the twists and turns in his professional life and how he developed the vision and structure for the Peer-2-Peer Foundation. He also discusses his strong critique of the "woke" movement and how recent political battles have impacted the direction of the P2P Foundation. Near the end, he and Gregg sync up on a possible vision of a future wisdom commons. here is Michel's Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Bauwens here is the P2P Foundation homepage: https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Main_Page here is the P2P Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/p2p.open/ --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

So nice, we had to do it twice! Dive deeper into the topic of Unconditional Basic Income in our second webinar, co-hosted with FEASTA and Vermonters for a New Economy. We discuss the finer points of UBI as a key element in the transition to a society centered around universal well-being.

With the birth of decentralized platforms, like block-chain, we're seeing new possibilities open up for people, not just in world of crypto-currency, but as a way to securely share data and knowledge of all kinds. In this episode, we're speaking with Michel Bauwens, a Belgian researcher and founder of the Peer-to-Peer foundation. His work focuses on the capacity of peer-to-peer theory to enable the growth of our knowledge commons and foster a more distributed, equitable, and ecological society.

Hello, we hope you will enjoy -part 2- of this inspirational talk with MICHEL BAUWENS, he is the founder and director of the P2P Foundation and works in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property. Michel is also research director of CommonsTransition.org a platform for policy development aimed toward a society of the Commons and a founding member of the Commons Strategies Group, with Silke Helfrich and David Bollier, organizers of major global conferences on the commons and economics. In this conversation -part 2- we talked about how Michel keeps balance in his life, his challenges and how he overcame them, the pitfalls and upside of projecting, the need for tragedy to change, the commons, how to most effectively distribute our abundant global resources so that everyone's needs are met, Buddhism, how to best implement Artificial Intelligence, forms of self-governance by citizens, algorithms, where we can find more info to inform ourselves, media-filters and censorship, the challenge of (de-)fragmented news channels and the promise of new media platforms, personal filters, P2P-dating creating hierarchy and the effect on block-chain communities, anti-oligarchic protocols, distribution overflow of ‘extra' votes and wages, value for co creating, and profit-sharing by social media platforms.

Du har kanskje hørt om "allmenningens tragedie", som beskriver en situasjon der felles forvaltede ressurser blir overutnyttet fordi alle deltakerne vil prøve å maksimere sitt eget utbytte uten tanke for det felles beste. Men visste du at begrepet bygger på en misforståelse? I virkeligheten var allmenningene en av de mest vellykkede og bærekraftige forvaltningsformene vi kjenner til, og det er grunnen til at de i dag opplever en renessanse, også på helt nye områder som for eksempel urban mobilitet. I denne episoden snakker vi med Michel Bauwens fra P2P Foundation om hva de moderne allmenningene er og hvordan de kan videreutvikles, og vi snakker med Thomas de Groot fra organisasjonen Commons Network, om hvordan "commoning" foregår i praksis og hvordan allmenningene kan tilby alternativer til vår vekstfokuserte økonomi.

J'ai le plaisir d'interviewer dans cette épisode Raphaële Bidault- Waddington, prospectiviste, fondatrice de LIID Future Lab.  J'ai découvert Raphaële sur Linkedin où elle partageait un article co-écrit avec Michel Bauwens intitulé la notion d'impact des entreprises vient remplacer celle de performance et évoquait la notion d'entreprise Générative. Nous avons exploré les pistes qui pourront permettre à l'entreprise d'être durable et d'avoir de l'impact. Si la question centrale reste celle de son utilité, sa capacité à générer de la valeur tout comme à prendre la main sur son avenir est essentielle.  Je vous propose de l'écouter. 

Michel Bauwens, Founder of the P2P Foundation and co-author of Peer-to-Peer: The Commons Manifesto, interviewed by futurist Trond Arne Undheim. In this conversation, we talked about how the world may have reached a tipping point where the balance between centralized and distributed activity as well as for profit and not for profit activity have overreached its boundaries. In Bauwens’ analysis, historically when this happens, with civilizations such as the Mayans, or the Chinese, a reversal of polarity happens, and society moves into healing mode. The difference this time, is that the system is global, and that we have nowhere else to go. Our challenge now is, whether we are capable of living within planetary boundaries. Bauwens, in this respect, subscribes to a functionalist pulse-wave theory of cyclical change.My takeaway is that the commons is indeed an interesting seemingly growing sentiment and a reaction to both big capitalism and libertarianism, a third way, if you will. I wrote about this phenomenon in my 2008 book Leadership From Below. Arguably, an increased focus on developing the commons, would help foster a more egalitarian, just and sustainable world. I found Bauwens critique of the crypto-anarchic divide between commoners and libertarians, the latter underlying blockchain quite interesting, as I had earlier perhaps put that effort more in the commons camp than it deserves, because at the surface, they are both about getting rid of the middleman. After listening to the episode, check out Michel's most recent book, the P2P Foundation, as well as his social media profile:Peer-to-Peer: The Commons Manifesto https://www.uwestminsterpress.co.uk/site/books/m/10.16997/book33/P2P Foundation https://p2pfoundation.net/Michel Bauwens (@mbauwens) https://www.linkedin.com/in/mbauwens/ The show is hosted by Podbean and can be found at Futurized.co.

In this episode of Mutations, I speak with Michel Bauwens about the role of the commons for cultural evolution, the resurgence of P2P (Peer-to-Peer) networks during the global pandemic, and glimpses of integral, post-capitalist futures. Michel Bauwens is the founder and Vision Coordinator of the P2P Foundation and works in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property. Michel is also the director of research of CommonsTransition.org. a platform for policy development aimed toward a society of the Commons and a founding member of the Commons Strategies Group, with Silke Helfrich and David Bollier, who have organised major global conferences on the commons and economics. Three recent books, amongst which (with Vasilis Kostakis), Network Society and Future Scenarios for a Collaborative Economy have been published in English, Dutch and French.

This week I spoke to Michel Bauwens, the  founder  of the Foundation for Peer-to-Peer Alternatives and works in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property and is known for his work on The Political Economy of Peer Production. Much of his work revolves around exploring peer production as an alternative to currently existing capitalism.For this interview we spoke mostly about his  recently published P2P ACCOUNTING FOR PLANETARY SURVIVAL report which focused on ways that DLT can be used to create alternative productive relations that promote planetary survival. I ask him about his frameworks for understanding technological designs and the different types of cooperatives which can help  create generative relations as opposed to extractive ones as well as why he thinks DLT and technologies like blockchain have particular properties that can help us fight against the destruction of the earth's natural environment.SourcesP2P Foundation WikiCommons TransitionIf you liked the podcast be sure to give it a review on your preferred podcast platform.

In this with Michel Bauwens, we explore both the Epistemological and Political/Regulatory layers of the transition from the “old” to the “new” ways of organising society. We dig into concepts like “trans-national institutions” and explore the changes we could expect in both regional and international governance of the economy and society.  Michel Bauwens is founder and director of the P2P Foundation, research director of CommonsTransition.org (a platform for policy development aimed toward a society of the Commons) and a founding member of the Commons Strategies Group.  Michel is a real lighthouse when it comes to collaborative, commons-based production models and works tirelessly since more than a decade in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property.

We dig into concepts like “trans-national institutions” and explore the changes we could expect in both regional and international governance of the economy and society. Michel Bauwens is founder and director of the P2P Foundation, research director of CommonsTransition.org (a platform for policy development aimed toward a society of the Commons) and a founding member of the Commons Strategies Group. Michel is a real lighthouse when it comes to collaborative, commons-based production models and works tirelessly since more than a decade in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property.Here are some important links from the conversation:> Michel Bauwens, Corona and the Commons http://liminal.news.greenhostpreview.nl/2020/03/23/corona-and-the-commons/> Michel Bauwens and Jose Ramos, “The pulsation of the commons: The temporal context for the cosmo-local transition” (Draft), https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sHhuecKxfB8HRH8o9aOfdlKNqaPQ8lc91502FXXv8e4/edit#heading=h.99i7fcsrn7tf > Bologna regulation for the care and regeneration of the urban commons, https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Bologna_Regulation_for_the_Care_and_Regeneration_of_Urban_Commons> P2P Accounting for Planetary Survival - Commons Transition, https://commonstransition.org/p2p-accounting-for-planetary-survival/> REPORTING 3.0, https://reporting3.org/> Robert I.

Mutations truly go on! As we wade further into the murky complexities of the meta-crisis, I bring you an update from COVID-19 quarantine. This is a recording from 4/2/20. Part riff, part Q&A discussion with viewers as we explore how to navigate the “meta-crisis,” including helpful ways of looking the current world state and navigating to (latent), more beautiful futures. Themes of liminality, metaxis (“betweenness”), and integral ontology come into the picture right now, as we collectively attempt to find our way to a new mode of sensemaking and culture building that is more akin to Teilhard de Chardin’s planetization, or Jean Gebser’s integral aperspectivity. Do tune in. This one definitely felt like climbing on a pulpit. PS: There’s now a backlog of interviews, some recorded before the COVID-19 epidemic--from another era! But they are coming.

Fanatical belief in cryptocurrencies lead to the perfect becoming the enemy of the good. Michel Bauwens chats to host Mark Pesce and takes us on a tour of what's good.

This episode is a crash course in the commons economy with Michel Bauwens of the P2P foundation. Michel introduces me to the concept of P2P and how it can be used to create commons. We discuss how the concept of the commons can be used as a model for governance in the circular economy and you’ll also hear why Michel is cautious of the so-called ‘sharing economy’ popularized by platforms such as Uber and Airbnb.ABOUT TODAY’S GUESTMichel Bauwens is the founder and director of the P2P Foundation and works in collaboration with a global group of researchers in the exploration of peer production, governance, and property. Michel is also research director of CommonsTransition.org, a platform for policy development aimed toward a society of the Commons. He has (co-)published various books and reports, is a founding member of the Commons Strategies Group, and recently crafted a Commons Transition Plan for the city of Ghent in Belgium in 2017.Highlights:What is P2P and the commons economyHow you can use P2P to create commons Examples of city commons labs and how to use protocols to create urban commonsWhy Michel is cautious of the so-called ‘sharing economy’ popularized by platforms such as Uber and AirbnbHow the commons economy could enable circular systemsThe three different levels of open contributive systems and four types of ownership Why commons licensing works best for immaterial goods

Loin des logiques mercantiles portées par les plateformes du type Uber ou Airbnb, des théoriciens et des entrepreneurs dessinent d’autres schémas collaboratifs. L’objectif ? Favoriser l’émergence d’une société de partage, créer des communs. Place à l’économie coopérative ! Débat enregistré en public le lundi 1er avril 2019 à La REcyclerie (Paris), en présence de Michel Bauwens, fondateur de la Foundation Peer to Peer Alternatives, Clothilde Sauvages, connector Ouishare, et Bastien Sibille, président de Mobicoop.  Animation du débat : Simon Beyrand. 

In this podcast, Michel Bauwens joins some dots together and explains why the open source movement, the growing prevalence of peer-to-peer sharing economy platforms and new technologies like blockchain create the potential to create a fundamentally different economic model that circulates vale between businesses, people and the environment, rather than extracts it. Bauwens believes that we should move to an economy that is built on infinite resources like knowledge, rather than finite materials, and we have the structure and technologies to achieve it.

Last week, close to my home, was the Transition Design Symposium. It brought together people from around the world interested in what design can bring to the need for an urgent societal Transition, and for 2 days its attendees basked in glorious sunshine and fascinating interactions. I managed to catch up with Michel Bauwens who was attending and speaking at the conference, and we took some time for a short chat sitting under a tree in sunshine. Michel spends half his time in Belgium and half in Thailand, and is the founder of the P2P Foundation, a global organisation of researchers working in collaboration to explore peer production, governance and property. He is a writer, researcher and speaker on the subjects of technology, culture and business innovation. “It’s about Open Source communities”, he told me. “A lot of it is like what you are doing with Transition, perhaps a bit of a difference would be that I try to look more at the trans-local, trans-national levels, and how we can build counter-power to trans-national capital”.

Peer-to-Peer theorist and activist Michel Bauwens is a leading figure in P2P and commons oriented thinking and a swiftly emerging alternative post-capitalist world. Indymedia's Karun Cowper spoke to Michel about this emergence and what hope and tangible solutions it provides in the Trump era.

The O'Reilly Radar Podcast: Conversations with Daniele Quercia and Frank Cuypers.This week's episode features two conversations I've had recently centered around smart cities. First, I chat with Daniele Quercia, research team lead at Bell Labs. We talk about research he's working on now; the launch of goodcitylife.org (including smelly maps and happy maps); why our use of technology shouldn't just aim to make a city smart, but to improve the day-to-day quality of life of it's citizens; and about the emerging areas of urban informatics he's finding most compelling. In our second segment, I chat with Frank Cuypers, associate professor at the University of Antwerp and strategist at Destination Think! We chat about the importance of urban DNA, his nonprofit project Why Your City, and why there's no such thing as a smart city.Here are some highlights: Alternative smart city agendas Daniele Quercia: "The idea and the rhetoric behind Smart City is one of efficiency and security. Usually they say a smart city is a city in which, if you go to work, you're always going to be on time. If you go shopping, there is no queue. You know what? You're going to feel really, really safe because of the CCTV cameras around you. It's about efficiency, security. We all know that we don't choose a city because of just efficiency and security. They make a city acceptable, but they don't make a city great. What makes a city great are fuzzy concepts, concepts that are really difficult to quantify, like beauty, happiness, these sort of things. That's why we built goodcitylife.org, which is a global network of people—researchers, people in industry, who really think there is an alternative agenda to the smart city agenda, and that's what we want to do. We want to empower these people, and we want to also do research in this new area of simply giving a good life to people." Daniele Quercia: "Currently, I'm thinking about something related to algorithmic regulation. We wrote a paper that we presented a few weeks ago at the conference Dub Dub Dub Dub. The idea was that, basically, these platforms like Airbnb or Uber generate data. These data could be used for regulation. What we found out is that, for example, we look at the evolution of all Airbnb in London, and we look at which areas were affected. For those areas, we had census data. The idea was that now you can see how the evolution of Airbnb is related to different social economic conditions. Then you can see that certain areas, there might be some dodgy subletting going on, and you can regulate that because you can build an index after the data. The same thing, in general, that you can do with any platform, right? You generate data inside a city and then you take that data to build analytics that might be useful for policy-making? In theory. You can change your policies and then you can see the impact of those policies in the city, and so on." "Cities are for humankind what the telephone booth is for Clark Kent" Frank Cuypers: "Of course, I'm a fan of smart cities. The thing is that ... Let's talk about data. Seth Godin wrote, 'Data gets us the Kardashian's.' People become lazy. There are two many stakeholders that are sharing data, data, data, and they don't have a clue what they are talking about. I have never met a politician who knows the difference between long data, big data, and short data. What is worrisome is that we're building now sort of vendor-lock in places. For instance, New York. The council writes a letter to Google to ask: in Google Maps, it's always that with your car, you go to the left. That causes a lot of traffic jams. If 30% in their maps could go to the right, it would solve the problem. They didn't answer, and I don't know whether they have answered already, but that's not the point. Is it normal that you have to ask a private company to solve a traffic problem in a public space? "What we need actually is—Jane Jacobs again, grassroots activism online. I say there is no such thing as a smart city because I really believe that cities are for humankind what the telephone booth is for Clark Kent. He goes in and in a split of a second, he transforms into Superman. We know that cities are the places where we could always transform our technology. It's about technological disruption as well, and that's a very good thing. But bring these two big trends together—on the one hand, you have the GNR, the genetics, the nanotechnology, the robotics, information technology. On the other hand, urbanization. 80% will live in cities in 2060. This is the most important thing we have to fix in our lives." Frank Cuypers:"Now, I'm very interested in people who go to the basic question, what is the economic foundation of our city? Someone who I really appreciate, and he's not so known in the Anglo-Saxon world but he's advising the Vatican and the State of Ecuador, is Michel Bauwens with his peer-to peer movement, where you really, really have a sharing economy. Uber and Facebook are in my world, but in my vision, they are not part of a sharing economy. They create a win-win situation: there is something free for you and there is some money to earn with your data. In the end, there is someone who always pays the bill. "It's the same with tourism. Sometimes we create a win-win situation, but the environment is destroyed, like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. We need to create a win-win-win situation, without any party losing anything. That kind of disruption in economy and in politics I think is very necessary in these days because we can't keep pace with what happens in technology. We can't keep pace with what happens in information technology."

Every 500 years or so, European civilization and now world civilization, has been rocked by fundamental shifts in its value regime, in which the rules of the game for acquiring wealth and livelihoods have dramatically changed. Following Benkler’s seminal Wealth of Networks, which first identifies peer production, the P2P Foundation has collated a vast amount […]

Dr Jose Ramos joins to discuss the fast moving commons culture that is evolving through systems thinking, peer-to-peer and the sharing economy. We focus on the City as a Commons line of thinking before Karl gives a precis of the top peer-to-peer trends of the moment according to Michel Bauwens.Show notes Image - Davide Ragusa

With emerging and innovative methods for distributing information and the means of education, we're still embedded in the relationships created in the 20th century. Can our societies distribute knowledge to enable healthy forms of production and consumption as a template for a decentralized and equitable post-growth economy? On Extraenvironmentalist #78 we discuss the FLOK Society Project with Michel Bauwens of […] (Visited 3,617 times, 4 visits today) The post [ Episode #78 // Open Knowledge Society ] appeared first on Extraenvironmentalist.

Because of the increased distributed nature of production technology, not just for immaterial production but for physical production as well, it is increasingly possible to imagine modes of social life which combine re-localised production with global open design communities. How can we move away from a world that is based on a false notion that the natural world is abundant, and on a equally false notion that we need to impede the free sharing of social innovations through the creation of artificial scarcities in the digital world? The answer may be a reliance on the emerging peer to peer dynamic, and the emergence of peer production, peer governance, and peer property formats as an alternative ways of organizing social life. The increasingly global availability of social cooperation technologies is empowering and enabling the creation of global-local communities that are able to directly create social value, through new types of for-benefit institutions. In this lecture, Michel Bauwens, founder of the Foundation for Peer to Peer Alternatives, will examine the key characteristics of this new mode of production, how it creates new business models, and how it could be enabled and empowered by new Partner State-based approaches by public authorities at all levels.
