You might be interested in Ch. 9: Special Agency Problems of Labor. Much of it is taken up with a discussion of labor relations as asymmetric warfare, which was influenced by them.Kevin Carsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07525803609000364993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10091452.post-69182540812775255962008-07-26T06:17:00.000-07:002008-07-26T06:17:00.000-07:00Kevin,<BR/><BR/>Your writing on P2P strikes me as similar in many ways to that of some leading 4GW theorists. As unusual as it may seem, I think these perspectives and yours have much in common. <BR/><BR/>John Robb (http://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/) writes about what he calls "Resilient Communities". Jeff Vail (http://www.jeffvail.net/2008/06/rhizome-platform-design.html) writes about a flat organizational construct he calls "Rhizome" and how it can sustain itself.<BR/><BR/>Neither discuss libertarian or anarchist philosophy as such, but their highly decentralized proposals align well with your P2P ideas. In fact, I think discussions with these writers might prove more fruitful than the libertarian-liberal ones at "The Art of the Possible".<BR/><BR/>--Edward S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
