I wonder how one would call direct action , transactions , and contracts made by the people without a need for a representative, but with the possibility for proxy voting which can be changed at any time in case one would want others to take decisions for us instead of taking them oneself ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_voting ) . How would such form of economics and governance be called, when enabled in hybrid forms of relational dynamics ? I guess not "direct democracy", as democracy is from the rule of the majority. I guess "Panocracy" ? http://p2pfoundation.net/Panocracy A principle underlying systems of organisation that asserts that everyone has the right to make and act on decisions about things that affect them and that no one else has the right to take that away from them. or "Panarchy" ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panarchy *“an inclusive, universal system of governance in which all may participate meaningfully."* -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens
