<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;">Technology disrupt markets. It is open to debate, however, what this implies for the future of the market economy. Some hackers and activists look forward to the day when technological
progress has abolished the need for market exchanges. For instance, self-acclaimed pirates strive to make intellectual property unenforceable with file sharing protocols. Hobby-engineers develop self-reproducing 3D printers under the slogan: �wealth-without-money�.
The digital currency Faircoin has been launched as a more equitable alternative to the existing monetary system. Peer production, exemplified in free software development, is showcased as a non-coercive model for organizing work. Towering above these initiatives
is basic income as a redistributive principle, arguably better adjusted to the age of full automation.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;">The post-capitalist future envisioned by some hackers and activists contrasts with the �accelerationist� vision. According to the latter viewpoint, it is not markets but monopolies,
guild privileges, and state regulations that are unsettled by technological breakthroughs. Virtual reality paves the way for �augmented property�, block-chain technology unlocks new areas of the lifeworld to just-in-time monetary flows, and computerization
allows work to be parceled up in ever finer tasks and micropayments. Whose utopia will carry the day � you are invited to take part in the discussion!</span></p>
