Ok, I can agree with this model you describe. Horizontal collectivism. I call that 'anarchocapitalism'. But having said that, it really comes into its own with distributed networks, which flatten the communication network.

Really, none of this convergence would have been possible without the internet. You give me hope that both sides of the 'horizontal collectivism' picture can find a common ground and then start to work together.

and yes! economists are supposed to be about refining the understanding of the methodologies how to minimise scarcity. That's why they are called 'economist' right?
