Discussion. Brian Holmes: "In the United States, from 1978 onward, a group of American Marxist economists - including David Gordon, Thomas Weisskopf, Samuel Bowles, Richard Edwards and Michael Reich - developed a set of ideas around what they called "Social Structures of Accumulation" (SSAs).
A version of selfhood that arises from these conditions has been termed the ‘flexible personality’ (Holmes, 2002): perpetually active, willing to innovate and change personal affiliations on a dime.
STONELEIGH: "The thermodynamics of empire is an underlying theme in Homer-Dixon’s discourse, particularly in relation to ancient Rome, although parallels are drawn with the present day. Homer-Dixon has a talent for vividly illustrating his descriptions of Rome’s dominance and subsequent decline with examples from his own travels and ...

- A New Vision of Network-Native Governance
We need to entertain new sorts of “digital law” because networked computing is reaching new thresholds of scale, sophistication and ubiquity. Thanks to inexpensive digital memory and growing interconnectivity, massive databases are now proliferating in the cloud, providing unprecedented dangers for privacy violations and security breaches. New deve...

The virtue of using Trust Frameworks to “discover” and evolve digital common law within a given community is that it internalizes law into the very transactional structures of online life. The built-in monitoring, governance, dispute resolution, enforcement, and auditing engender more responsive and stable forms of governance. People are more likel...
Global financial markets for example, where microstructures have been found, simply outrun the capacity of such structures. These markets are too fast, and change too quickly to be ’contained’ by institutional orders. Global systems based on microstructural principles do not exhibit institutional complexity but rather the asymmetries ...
The notion of "wicked problems", introduced by Rittel and Webber (1973), was used originally in social planning to describe a problem that is resistant to simple resolution due to the complex, open-systemic interdependencies of its multiple natural and social facets as they dynamically morph, reconfigure into emergent relational networks, and fe...
