Hi there,

Just wanted to comment that I find Global Market a very interesting project.

I read the thread in the forum about local vs. global. Sorry, for some reason I can't post to the forum, my PW isn't accepted (I'm sure it is correct), and the e-mail recovery doesnt work :( So that's why I'm writing here to the list.

Anyway, right now there seems to be a lot of momentum about new economic models, not just among alternative/activist/grassroots/etc. communities, but also among "higher-level" / "well-established" institutions.

E.g. the motto of the last World Economic Forum in Davos was "The Great Transformation: Shaping New Models".

Recently there was a conference called New Digital Economics.

Then there are The Future of Money and Unmoney.

And the SWIFT InnoTribe Startup Challenge is looking for "disruptive innovations in financial services".

One project I've been involved with a bit is Vendor Relationship Management (VRM). 

Its goals (empowering customers to manage their relationships with vendors) seem to overlap somewhat with those of the Global Market.

Also, I have always found Elf Pavlik's work really interesting, e.g. http://polyeconomy.info/, http://www.w3.org/community/community-io/

As far as I remember from Unlike Us, Lorea has some modules/components for trading in a p2p network.

Anyway, will try to follow Global Market closely.

Nice to see that in Berlin there will be something about an "economy of the commons".

Maybe I can make it there, that would be cool, but not sure...

Markus

What is to be done when these amazing ideas are backed by the people on this page (1% ?) http://www.weforum.org/events/world-economic-forum-annual-meeting-2012
