Distributive Economy

An open source economy in which business models generally follow principles of Distributive Enterprise.

A distributive economy may be contrasted with a re-distributive economy, which is the dominant global model as of 2018. Mainstream economics tend to collect revenue (taxes) so that resources can re-distributed. We believe not so much in re-distribution - as in distribution in the first place. First of all, it is said that death and taxes are some of peoples' greatest fears. Thus, we favor access and opportunity so that everyone can take care of their needs - without relegating re-distribution to third parties who do not have a direct stake in the redistribution, and who coerce innocents to paying taxes. A mindset of re-distribution is an undesirable process - in our opinion - because it does not address or mitigate the creation of huge inequalities in the first place. From an integrated perspective, humanity should work on upgrading its algorithms for how access and opportunity is created - which is the core aim of Open Source Ecology. We believe in helping others, but we think that humanity can come up with a better algorithm than re-distributing resources that are collected via coercive 'voluntary' social contracts. We are clear in proposing the Open Source Economy as the improved algorithm.
