NEXT ECONOMY
The economy has to be transformed for better
world
Taking holistic view of different segments of
economy
Pain points and concerns
Rising prices
Employment/livelihood & source of income
Housing/shelter
Education
Health
Transportation/commuting
Relationships and community
Climate and ecology
What if a system evolves which provisions
all the basic human needs in an integrated
manner while solving pain points and
concerns?
What if every basic need can be produced
at
household, community, city and bio-regional
scales?
What if everyone has opportunity to be
hyper
productive?
(also meaningfully employed without having
to
worry about survival income)
Researchers and doers around the world
are activitely building the next economy and
spreading knowledge about this thinking.
But
this document focuses on narrow
perspective
for basic economic provisioning of most
human needs
India's economic situation is given special
attention in this document
Every home to be productive unit for
air/water/food, energy, power and so on....
Achieve situation of ubiquitous food
production, ubiquitous energy production
and ubiquitous micro-manufacturing of most
products
Present food production
Food abundance everywhere
Centralized energy production &
distribution
Ubiquitous energy production & use
everywhere
Unaffordable housing &
infrastructure
Housing for everyone & affordable
infrastructure
Destructive mineral extraction &
material production
Renewable & sustainable materials
Design process barriers
Open & intuitive design process
Unsustainable & forced scarcity
consumption manufacturing model
Sustainable & ubiquitous micro-
manufacturing of most products
Irrelevant education & skills
acquisition system
Education & learning transformed
Present research, knowledge, art &
culture
Sharing, re-mixing & peer
production
Expensive transportation & forced
need for commuting
Less need to commute & better
transportation
Proprietary software lock-in & skill
barriers to programming
Open source & intuitive software
development
Unsecured & centralized
communications infrastructure
Ubiquitous & P2P communications
infrastructure
Unaffordable & insensitive
healthcare
Affordable healthcare provisioning
Unsecured citizens
Ubiquitous security for all
Unequal & centralized financial
system
Better financial model
Obsolete organization
structures
Better organization design
All of this integrated into human scale
infrastructure for every home & community
Made into resilient autonomous habitats
