Post-capitalism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Post-capitalism, refers to any hypothetical future economic system which are proposed to replace capitalism as the dominant economic system.
There have been a number of proposals for a new economic system to replace capitalism. The most notable among them are:
- Socialist economics, an economic system based on state or public ownership of the means of production usually combined with rational economic planning as a means to allocate resources, at least for capital goods.
- Cooperative economics, an economic system based on the worker cooperative. Related ideas include mutualism and guild socialism.
- Participatory economics, an economic system that uses participatory decision making as an economic mechanism to guide the allocation of resources and consumption in a given society.
- Post-scarcity anarchism, an economic system based on social ecology, libertarian municipalism, and an abundance of fundamental resources.[1]
- Binary economics, an economic system that endorses both private property and a free market but proposes significant reforms to the banking system.
- Technocracy, a governmental or organizational system where decision makers are selected based upon how highly knowledgeable they are, rather than how much political capital they hold.
- Distributism, a system encouraging the widest possible distribution of the means of production, so that as many people as possible can be entrepreneurs. Small businesses that support one family are valued more highly than large corporations and large government bureaucracies.
- Communism, a hypothetical historical era wherein production is not organized on the premise of valorization through exploitation, and distribution follows the principle "to each according to need". Communism would presume the abolition of work as a separate sphere of life one is coerced into for survival; the material means of subsistence would thus be said to be held in 'common'.
