Abstract

The world is undergoing continuous change, with peaks of dramatic leaps. Ignoring for a moment significant trends in political populism, demographic changes, and environmental risks, these changes may best be summarised under the heading of a ‘distributed political economy’. The distributed nature is due to traditional industries and organisations becoming much less centralised, with individuals and communities having much greater access to and control of the means of production and participation. Examples of this distributed political economy include 3D printing, the Web 3.0, machine learning and artificial intelligence, renewable energy production, ridesharing, and accommodation.
