Glad you enjoyed it! I'm convinced we've just taken the industrial age economic and banking system and copied it into the digital age, but we haven't accounted for the near-zero marginal cost of information creation, storage and transmission. So the actual scarcity vs. the artificial scarcity of things is off. I think we can get there by valuing knowledge differently: subsidizing the cost of knowledge production and distribution - all costs from the start - so that it doesn't need a business model once produced. I think that's the key. To read more on this phenomenon I enjoy Yochai Benkler, who came up with the term 'Commons based peer production'. Some examples include Linux, Github, Open Source Ecology, Precious Plastic, Wikipedia, Sensorica, Valueflows (Holo-REA) and Holochain. + "Money is just information, a way we measure what we trade, nothing of value in itself."
