David,

I have read your suggestions with interest.

Many of us are hoping for a contextual mode of production that makes it
absolutely obsolete to do things like exchange - simply because the design
of the socio-physical production space resembles more an intensive
circulation of matter and energy than the retaining of goods (commodity in
German means something that you retain). I prefer the term "flow economy"
to this. Nevertheless I had a great conversation with Genevieve Vaughan on
gift economy.

I would like to invite you to participate in the globalvillages community
- to help us design and foster the abundance side of things in conceivable
habitat.

all the best
