Open Source Social Capital (OSSC) is a form of capital constituted by the combination of open source knowhow, open source hardware tools, and software that is used in conjunction with collaborative development processes and crowd funding to provide startup capital that is until present (2021) typically provided by Financial Capital. OSSC is a form of capital based on a socializing process, rather than a typically alienating process - that comes out of the collaborative techniques used. Truly open collaboration is invoked between agents from many different organizations - motivated primarily by the efficiency that arises from eliminating all forms of Competitive Waste.
The concept of open source social capital is created here to mark a distinction between the institution of money and OSSC. Enterprise does not need money - it needs the things that money can buy. OSSC proceeds to collect those necessary resources directly, with less dependence on official money systems, which carry with them certain prejudices as to the principles of how business is done. By avoiding dependence on official money systems, OSSC can create new rules of how economics can be run. Financial capital relies on using money as an adhesion contract, and OSSC aims to change the rules of the game by setting new principles that don't rely on modern monetary theory that includes Fractinal Reserve Banking, Limited Liability, the standard corporation as a legal form (see The Corporation), Initial Public Offering, and other legal fictions which until this point in human history (2021) tend to concentrate power in some people at the expense of others. We envision a world of abundance where inequality exists but is more fluid: where social mobility allows any individual free choice as to how much authentic, ethical power they gain - and protects those seeking authentic power from those who gained their power unethically.
