Peer To Peer: Social, Political, And Economic Issues In A P2P World - A Video Interview With Michel Bauwens
October 8th, 2008
Beyond file-sharing, peer-to-peer is an alternative way of looking at work, live and the way we make money. Although mainstream media coverage of P2P has mostly focused its spotlights on the on-going debate around file-sharing and pirated media (music, movies, games), the social, economic, and political consequences of peer-to-peer go well beyond that narrow focus.

The success of Wikipedia is a perfect example of how peer-to-peer collaboration extends well beyond the walls of pirated media. Wikipedia demonstrates that as a mode of production, peer-to-peer can succeed and even operate with efficiencies that closed systems cannot compete with.
Furthermore, p2p as a governance and economic model holds promises and solutions to problems that other models (including democracy and capitalism) are incapable of dealing with. As an economic model it can create new incentives to work. Rather than money being the driving force to create, as with capitalism, "voluntary passionate production" takes precedence.
Perhaps an even better example of how peer-to-peer can fundamentally affect (for the better) the world in which we live is the potential it has to alter our monetary system. The growing success of microlending and microlending institutions like Prosper has already demonstrated that even an entrenched social system like our financial system can benefit from becoming more distributed.
In this exclusive video interview with MasterNewMedia, Michel Bauwens, founder of the Peer-to-Peer Foundation, discusses some of the greater societal effects of peer-to-peer.
