BEYOND MONEY: Resource Distribution Inspired by Biological Metabolism (Political Thought) - Tapa blanda

Beyond Money (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The monetary system, while historically instrumental in enabling large-scale human cooperation, is becoming increasingly inadequate in addressing the complexities of a technologically advanced and interconnected world. With the rise of artificial intelligence, automation, and the emergence of post-scarcity production models, the role of money as a universal mediator of value is diminishing. This paper proposes a parallel system of intelligent, non-monetary resource distribution modeled on biological metabolism, in which needs are met dynamically through feedback-driven regulation rather than symbolic exchange. Inspired by the way organisms distribute nutrients and resources without currency - using signaling, prioritization, and homeostasis - we outline a framework in which artificial intelligence performs a similar coordinating function at the societal level. Such a system would gradually render traditional money obsolete, not through ideological abolition, but through redundancy. We argue that in a world of abundance and automation, human motivation shifts from economic survival to creative participation, and that a cybernetic resource infrastructure can sustain this transition with transparency, adaptability, and ethical oversight. This vision represents not merely an economic innovation, but a civilizational evolution in how humanity relates to value, effort, and shared existence. This item is printed on demand.
