Distributive Economics

Distributive Economics is an economic paradigm which promotes the equitable distribution of wealth through a combination of open design (of products, processes, services, and other economically significant information) and Open Business Models.

Distributive economics have several requirements:

1. Appropriate scale -

1. Free enterprise - this means truly free enterprise where the playing field is leveled by open access to best-practice information (optimized product design, optimized production process design, and other economic analysis). This is the opposite of monopoly capitalism enforced by welfare-state Keynesian economics

1. Responsibility - accountability of communities for creating complete local economies implies autonomy on a local scale, while providing positive feedback loops for social and environmental responsibility. The intervening role of the welfare state is diminished as the people in take responsibility for their own well-being within their own communities.
