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
of empirical evidence of newly emerging value practices, which exist in a
uneasy relationship with the dominant political economy, and of which some
authors claim, like Jeremy Rifkin and Paul Mason, that it augurs a
fundamental shift. What would be the conditions for this new regime to
become autonomous and even dominant, and what are the signs of it
happening? As context, we will be using the Tribes, Institutions, Markets,
Networks framework of David Ronfeldt, the Relational Grammar of Alan Page
Fiske, and the evolution of modes of exchange as described by Kojin
Karatini in The Structure of World History. We will argue that there is
consistent evidence that the structural crises of the dominant political
economy is leading to responses that are prefigurative of a new value
regime, of which the seed forms can be clearly discerned.
