The Ethereum Blockchain and Radical Markets in Action
Uprooting Capitalism and Democracy for a Just Society
We’re excited to bring together our old and new friends in Barcelona for a revolutionary discussion and radical exchange of ideas, which we will translate into actions for decentralization, blockchain and governing the commons!
Organized by the Giveth team as a celebratory event on the closing day of our team retreat, this Friday evening is hosted by Akasha Hub, with the collaboration of Women in Blockchain Barcelona and Ethereum Dev Barcelona.
Agenda:
18:00 Doors opening
18:30 Giveth and Akasha Welcome (Dani Bellavita & Lorenzo Patuzzo)
19:00 Introduction into Giveth, The Commons Stack and RadxChange (Griff Green)
19:30 Fishbowl 1: Radical Market Experiments
A circulating panel discussion on:
Quadratic Voting
Harberger Tax
Token Bonding Curves
The Commons Stack
20:30 Fishbowl 2: Radical Markets applied to Barcelona
21:30 What’s next for RadxChange Barcelona?
What role do you want to play in the future of this initiative?
What project are you working on and why are you here?
Let’s get to some Radical xChanging right now!
RadicalxChange is a foundation led by economist Glen Weyl, built on the discussion that grew around Radical Markets: Uprooting Capitalism and Democracy for a Just Society (2018). The book pointed out flaws in existing markets and political systems, and proposed radical ways of restructuring property, voting, immigration, antitrust, and data ownership. Positive alternatives, grounded in rigorous social science and token engineering, that embrace markets, technology, community and diversity have emerged.
Giveth
We are a community focused on making the world a better place through the use of blockchain technology. Our flagship product, the Giveth Donation Application (DApp) is striving to bring new governance models into the nonprofit space. We created the Giveth Galaxy to foster a larger network of organizations that will help us Build the Future of Giving we envision, a truly decentralized one.
The Ethereum Blockchain
Many people were inspired to join the Ethereum movement by the desire to create social rules that can be enforced in a decentralized manner and which will support a productive and fair society that maintains its decentralized character. Yet blockchain as a technology is only a platform, not a design, for such a society. Radical Markets sketches a possible solution to what such a society could look like and is being rapidly adopted in a variety of ways by the Ethereum community.
AKASHA Foundation
A non-profit born at the intersection of blockchain and collective intelligence.
We nurture projects helping individuals unlock their potential through open systems that expand our collective minds at local, regional and global scales.
