>Sorry for the late announcement but getting the event to occur has been a<br>
>matter of constant small adjustments.<br>
<br>
Volker will be here on the night of the 8th (Michel arrives later the same<br>
night from a previous engagement). For operational reasons here at the<br>
School, the talk has to be at 12.00 midday on the 9th. I propose that<br>
those of the consortium who can be here come to lunch after the talk, then<br>
spend the afternoon in discussion of future plans for peer-to-peer<br>
research collaboration. We can then go for dinner with those who are able<br>
to stay<br>
<br>
Here is the announcement for the talk<br>
<br>
Looking forward to welcoming you here<br>

<br>
Invitation for all to attend the next talk in our new Global Futures<br>
Speakers' Series, Friday, 9 December 2011, 12:00 � 13:00 in Lecture<br>
Theatre A at WSA:<br>
<br>
Title: "P2P Economics �= Shared Innovation Commons + Mutualist Phyles?"<br>
Speaker: Michel Bauwens (founder of the Foundation of Peer-to-Peer<br>
Alternatives)<br>
<br>
Patterns that prefigure a horizontalized future: If the current political<br>
economy's DNA is based on combining false material infinity with<br>
artificially maintained scarcity, can we imagine a future political<br>
economy where this polarity is reversed? Given an increasing amount of<br>
evidence collected by the P2P Foundation and other research collectives,<br>
we believe that humanity is already actively preparing such a<br>
transformation. We'll review the evidence for a major social phase<br>
transition. What will be the place of the state, the market and civil<br>
society in such a scenario?<br>
<br>
"Michel Bauwens is the founder of the Foundation for Peer-to-Peer<br>
Alternatives and works in collaboration with a global group of researchers<br>

University of Amsterdam and external expert at the Pontifical Academy of<br>
