Digital tools enable new decentralized forms of commons peer production.
Evidence
Commons organizing is based on a decentralized and communitarian form of working in common. In the twenty-first century, this traditional form of organizing has acquired new tools for decentralized task division and allocation which is only possible with today’s new digital tools (internet, sharing platforms and blockchain) that enhance new forms of peer production and sharing. — Laura Albareda and Alejo Jose G. Sison, Commons Organizing, 193
Categorization
- DEFINE: Situates commons organizing between its decentralized communitarian roots and its digital augmentations (sharing platforms, blockchain), useful as a working definition.
- QUESTION: Whether blockchain counts as enabling ‘peer production’ rather than merely exchange is a live question worth chasing into the distributed-ledger literature.
