O.G. Rose | Sources of P2P Theory (Ep #1) w/ Michel Bauwens: "The Structure of World History" by Kojin Karatani @O.G.Rose.Michelle.and.Daniel | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
How do we arrive at hypotheses, interpretations and conclusions in the P2P Foundation, and in particular how did we arrive at our theoretical framing? We will focus on the practical and concrete research and experiences elsewhere, but here we focus on the sources of our theoretical insights, by going through the key books of the most significant authors who influenced us. As a collective, there will be many more sources than listed here, but these reflects the initial and ongoing work by Michel Bauwens, as co-producing the theoretical insights in collaboration with colleagues.

The P2P Foundation is an international organization focused on studying, researching, documenting and promoting peer to peer practices in a very broad sense. Their motto is "Together we know everything, together we have everything", i.e. pooling our resources through commons, creates prosperity for all.
