Flowconomy

Flowconomy replaces the function of economy in Deniesa.

Economy is about scarcity, competetion and gaining possesion . See the wikipedia on this. Flowconomy is about facilitating ‘flow’ of ‘things’ (people and material). And it is not about possesion. Sharing (weconomy), doing things together (like how Linux has been developed globally). And it takes the balance with our earth and other lifeforms as a basis. Not plundering it…

In essence the economy has a sound definition:

“can be traced back to the Greek words οἰκονόμος “one who manages a household” (derived from οἴκος “house”, and νέμω “distribute (especially, manage)”), οἰκονομία “household management”, and οἰκονομικός”of a household or family” [Wikipedia]

But nowadays economy is based on key ingredients: Consumer spending, Exchange Rate, Gross domestic product, GDP per capita, GNP, Stock Market, Interest Rate, National Debt, Rate of Inflation, Unemployment, Balance of Trade [See Economic Measures section in this link]

These are nearly all things we don’t want in Deniesa.

• We don’t want to increase consumer spending to be a driver of our world because it spoils the earth and it presses the people without reason.
• We don’t want GDP as a main figure because it makes governments grow and disrupture our society like a violent cancer (see work of Raoul Schepers on this).
• We don’t stock martkets because we don’t believe in companies which have free floating stocks.

Instead we believe in alternatives. Like foundations to do our trading with and centralize aggegation of value chains, values and money. The main difference is that foundations ar owned by society… And Deniesa is driven by sustaining happinez and wellfare, not on a increasing economy…

More on this you read in the book Deniesa’s Manifest.

And because the word economy has been defined with nowadays semantics (like pointef out above) we need a new word… as long as we keep on using the word ‘economy’ the world will not change in a good way…

That is the origin behind the word Flowconomy, in short…
