'''An open source economy is defined as an economy in which the development of goods and services happens via open collaboration between enterprises and organizations on the global level. It is an economy where the rate of innovation across all sectors is significantly higher than the rate of innovation provided by proprietary research and development characteristic of the 20th century. In short, the open source economy is efficient: it avoids [[Competitive Waste]] - thereby optimizing not only production, but also - distribution. It is a paradigm that solves the last frontier of the human economy - distribution - being [[Distributive Rather Than Re-distributive]].
The open source economy is next economy, in which abundance-based economics have been achieved for [[Mutually Assured Abundance]] as the universally-accepted security doctrine. Non-scarce means of exchange (money) is created, and [[Universal Basic Assets]] are a common and available path to for thriving. All [[Competitive Waste]] has been eliminated, lifetime product design has been institutionalized as the new economic norm, and physical resource conflicts have been eliminated. Open design and [[Collaborative Literacy]], fueled by [[Moral Intelligence]] has been accepted as one of the essential literacies of humanity.

Some notable characteristics of an open source economy are:
#Product development occurs as a non-proprietary, collaborative effort, such as that shown already for software with the Linux Foundation. Transparency replaces secrecy, and open innovation replaces protectionism, leveling the playing field of global geopolitics significantly. However, this is largely an internal paradigm shift in humans that allows this.
#Human integration towards personal maturation (marked by self-esteem, ethics, and self-determination) is achieved commonly by most of the human population
#The [[Gini Coefficient]] drops at least to pre-industrial levels
#Forest cover percentage has reversed its continuing downward trend, as the derivative landslides, desertification, and floods begin to be less significant causes of societal instability.
#Wholesale ecocide is reversed. It may be desirable to reintroduce extinct species via genetic engineering, but only if proper risk assessment has been done.
#The number of casualties caused by resource conflicts falls from the current upward trend of absolute numbers since 1400, to its current 10,000/year baseline - to 0. See [[War Statistics]].
#Societal institutions displaying poor incentive structures, thereby causing general conflict of interest between the economy and ethics, are corrected.


Some more notes:

The open source economy is marked theoretically by [[Distributive Enterprise]] forming the backbone of [[Distributed Market Susbstitution]] as the norm beyond the scarcity-based economics that were practiced up ontil the early 21st century.


#Patents are no longer secured because open collaboration and patents are incompatible. It becomes commonly understood that the innovation rate is higher when patents are not invoked, and as such, patents become a thing of the past.
Tactically speaking, the open source economy is based on [[Distributed Productive Ecosystems]] delivering [[Peter Drucker]]'s promise of a civilization that is both more productive and humane.
#Trade secrets no longer exist because open collaboration and trade secrets are incompatible. There is no incentive to secrecy as the value of transparency has emerged as more productive.
#Non-disclosure agreements are no longer invoked, as entrepreneurs have recognized that walling up innovation is not consistent with the general good.
#Opening of innovation has distributed economic prowess more widely across the globe. As a result of access to best practices across all areas of human endeavor, the difference between first and third world economies have been blurred. Small-minded corruption and lawlessness where the few benefit at the expense of many has largely been eradicated in formerly backward regions of the world. A first rate standards of living is available to all.
#Decentralized economies have made economic localization more relevant to commerce. The stock market, derivative financial instruments, and speculation obsolete in the face of crowd-funding, social capital, place-based investment, and regenerative economics. Environmental and social regeneration has become valued more highly than degeneration.
#Wholistic, integral, systems thinking has forged a more ecological relationship between economics and natural resources. Natural resources have been accepted as the source of wealth and objects of respect.
#[[Global Military Spending]] has been largely converted from wartime ends to peaceful ends - such as [[Regenerative Development]].

The open source economy is an economy that optimizes both production and distribution, while providing environmental regeneration and social justice.

General

The open source economy is next economy, in which abundance-based economics have been achieved for Mutually Assured Abundance as the universally-accepted security doctrine. Non-scarce means of exchange (money) is created, and Universal Basic Assets are a common and available path to for thriving. All Competitive Waste has been eliminated, lifetime product design has been institutionalized as the new economic norm, and physical resource conflicts have been eliminated. Open design and Collaborative Literacy, fueled by Moral Intelligence has been accepted as one of the essential literacies of humanity.


Tactical

The open source economy is marked theoretically by Distributive Enterprise forming the backbone of Distributed Market Susbstitution as the norm beyond the scarcity-based economics that were practiced up ontil the early 21st century.

Tactically speaking, the open source economy is based on Distributed Productive Ecosystems delivering Peter Drucker's promise of a civilization that is both more productive and humane.

In order to get there, open knowhow must fuel Integrated Design and Integrated Enterprise to provide for thriving, based on the transcendence of a Scarcity Mindset. This addresses Socrates' slavery, political division, and outdated mental models of centrist systems as a foundation for Self-Determination and Sublimation.

Some qualities of the open source economy are:

  1. Collaborative design of goods and services as opposed to proprietary development and patents
  2. Lifetime design and warranties on all products, outside of consumables which can be regenerated through closed-loop material cycles
  3. Access to Open Sector enterprise, which enables indididuals to participate in the production process on a subscription basis
  4. Access to housing via autonomous living units that can be stacked vertically, as well as other means of public-interest, open sector housing options
  5. Modular product ecosystems that rely on Integrated Design and closed loop material cycles
  6. Automated production assist that is available to anyone
  7. Kardashev Scale 0.01 limit until serious attempts at the settlement of space (current state is 0.0001)
  8. Human evolution to Self-Determination
