[P2P-F] thinking true meta-governance and the gaps in p2p theory regarding the household economy

the following was prompted by Jose Ramos, who was thinking about his new
book on commons policy,

SO, WE NEED TO WORK ON SIGNIFICANT GAPS IN P2P THEORY, and in particular:


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
