Peer-to-Peer Economics for Post Catastrophic Recovery

Abstract

Post-catastrophic recovery is gaining more importance to human societies. This paper proposes use of a distributed autonomous economic medium to support recovery of communities after catastrophic events. It proposes a model in which everyone in the world can help each other as peers, instead of creating one's dependencies on others. The model applies peer-to-peer technologies on the Internet to achieve an environment for mutual help in the planetary scale
