The consequences of dis-intermediation of the financial system - which is continuing - and the consequent transition from a transaction-based economy to a service-based economy will change everything IMHO. "Any economic unit can emit money. The serious problem is to get it accepted" Hyman Minsky
I would have some (a lot, actually) interest in reading about the possible consequences of the emergence of a peer to peer relationship model as opposed to the the current intermediation model that exists in many of human activities.
Thanks

The stuff on my site concerning what I call
Open Capital
has long since gone from the conceptual to practical application (in Scotland , mainly) of the partnership-based dis-intermediated legal and financial structures or "enterprise models" I observe emerging and suitable for frameworks for "Peer to Peer" direct connections.
This subject litters my ET Diaries and comments - ad nauseam for many here I know, although I think I have made a few "converts"! "Any economic unit can emit money. The serious problem is to get it accepted" Hyman Minsky
