after hearing a recent monbiot video where he mentioned 4 economic spheres, (market-state-commons-households), rather than the 3 we are using at the p2p foundation (market-state-commons) ...
I have started thinking that in our (at least mine) own work, I have really collapsed household and commons, because I on the one hand, I see the family as a commons and caring as commoning, but on the other hand, I have not seen any solution yet emerge, as how commons-based peer production can actually help the household economy,
so basically, I am asking for help and ideas on how we could think this through,
here is a potential framework: I would suggest a potential scheme
take the 4 economic sectors: commons, state, market and households
each of these has internal governance aspects and specific characteristics
then, they need to relate to each other, given us commons-market, commons to state, commons-households, etc..
then, all of this needs a meta-framework
so far the work at the p2p foundation has been at the intersection of 1) a general framework for commons/state/market, and I believe we have done good work on this 2) work on commons-state (in value in the commons economy and other work) 3) state-commons: our work in ecaudor (focusing on social knowledge commons) and our work in ghent, focusing on institutional design for public-commons cooperation; I think we have done good work and advanced significantly in these 3 directions
