    Economy 2.0: Round Table #1


    Josh Sidman leads the first-ever Economy 2.0 round table episode, featuring Will RuddickMichael MeehanTeun van Sambeek and George Lovegrove. The topic will be the potential for digital and/or blockchain technologies to apply the trust-based dynamics of family or community economy to an extended network in which participants do not know each other personally.

    Aristotle defined economics as the study of “household management.” Households have a complex set of dynamics governing the rights and responsibilities of each member without the need for money or traditional economic contracts or institutions. What if modern technologies give us — for the first time in human history — the possibility of creating extended — or even global — networks built on these holistic dynamics, thus making possible a quantum leap forward in terms of human economy? These four thinkers will each bring their diverse perspectives on the subjects of alternative exchange paradigms and digital token systems to bear on this important and timely subject.
