Graham Boyd will talk about why, if we want to build a new kind of economy enabling all life to flourish, all current ownership and co-operative models lack critical functionality; and yet each has functionality we need! He will introduce what he has applied to business from his learnings across: the governance of apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa; the nature of agency and legal personhood, vs. property and legal thinghood; errors deep in key assumptions of economics about the dynamics of capital (the ergodicity assumption), as well as the role of energy and resources; and the workings of nature and evolution.
These have lead to a new, integral approach: ergodic investing and entrepreneurship, built on the foundations of FairShares Commons incorporation, sociocratic operations, and deliberately developmental organisation designs.
These changes in the fundamentals of power and relationships in business lead to fundamentally healthier and robust ways for people interact with themselves, each other, and companies. And these lead to systemic ways of countering hidden little-known root causes (rather than the visible proximal causes) for the hollowing out of middle income, rising debt, and the impact over multiple generations on economies and individual wealth of laws and practices in the past.
