'''Priocracy''' is a proposed system of political economy based on the love paradigm, designed by Richard Mochelle as an alternative to market-based capitalism.
|
||
|
||
== Description ==
|
||
|
||
Richard Mochelle explains:
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
"My system design interest was sparked decades ago on reading Erich Jantsch's Design for Evolution (1975) and Erich Fromm's The Art of Loving (1957). Fromm wrote of an all caring, globally responsive, ethical love called Agape by the Greeks, Metta by Buddhists and Prema by Hindus, a love that entails learning – both understanding its rationale and practicing it. Extolled by billions of religiously and spiritually inclined persons, it remains to be systematically enacted. Seriously lacking is a practicable vision of love's revolutionary economic and political system implications.
|
||
|
||
My work-in-progress system design/vision is called Priocracy to distinguish it from similar designs (eg. Fresco's 'Resource Based Economy'). Priocracy is based on an ethic of global care and responsibility implicit in agapeic love; those in greatest need (humans and other species) warrant our priority attention and action – our priaction – regardless of their ability to offer exchange value."
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
|
||
== Key Features ==
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
"Priocracy is a post-market, 'give-freely, get freely', cosmopolitan economic game whose world serving players (not workers) self-organise in response to global priority needs – to the child that cries and the world that cries. They are resourced by, and serve as trustees of, a free-access, global resource trust. Players inform and are informed by an online GPS information system using 'holochain' to track player moves, projects & services, as well as resource stocks and flows.
|
||
|
||
Priocracy is an integrity-based, honorary, world service system. Players join via a priocratic oath, a public declaration of personal commitment to exercise the ethical right and responsibility to serve impartially – in the common interests of all people – to relinquish national allegiance, not participate in national identity branding and refuse to contribute to national military defences. Thereby, with love-based integrity, will each player serve to steadily disarm the world."
