11. Alternative Economy Cultures part 1
2 years ago
The ‘Alternative Economy Cultures’ (alt.econ.cult) programme on April 3rd & 5th, brought together leading international and Finnish thinkers, cultural practitioners and activists, to present alternative economic visions, during Pixelache Helsinki Festival 2009.
The seminar aimed to tackle not just the financial, but the social, cultural, institutional, human, material, emotional and intellectual forms of capital. Not just about individual gain, boosting, balancing or bail-outs, but common good, peer-to-peer, shared wealth and appropriate reward for effort involved.
The discussion-based workshop about peer-fundraising brought together artists, researchers and business representatives interested in P2P funding models. Focusing upon emerging practices and related topics, it also raised the topic: Can the crowd-sourcing phenomena be applied to support alternative cultural events in Finland?
The programme was initiated and organised by artist-researcher Andrew Gryf Paterson (independent / agryfp.info / Medialab TaiK), in cooperation with Marita Muukkonen & Ivor Stodolsky of Perpetuum Mobilε (perpetualmobile.org) and Roope Mokka of Demos Helsinki (demos.fi). We aimed to offer a new strand to the Pixelache Network discourse.

Good thing. It's pleasant to know that our cars, architecture, and bikes are designed by engineers who are fully trained and specialized in that task.
Comparative advantage? What a joke. If the US had practiced what it now preaches to developing nations it would be doing a roaring trade in bear skins and fish today, and not much else. The fact is that no developed country used previously existing comparative advantages to get ahead.
Michael Albert and Robin Hahnel have written quite extensively about efficiency concerns relating to participatory economics. Thoughtful analysis on this subject can be read for example in Michael Albert's
Parecon – Life After Capitalism and in Robin Hahnel's Economic Justice and Democracy – From Competition to Cooperation.
There is a good case to be made that market systems allocate resources very inefficiently, in a much more gigantic scale than would ever be possible in a participatory economy.
