True capitalism? BAH! Coming economies will inch toward that economic idea shlowly as we become more connected to each other and better informed (perfect knowledge is an important feature of true capitalism). How can one be better informed? When employees are so much more able to move around in an economy that they truly don’t have fear of losing a job. Being able to work with a group because you want to enables you to view said group differently. You see the benefits and faults. As well, you see the wrongs in a whole new light. Being more of a mercenary in society you know a wider aspect of the work community. Being more of a mercenary makes you less likely to hold back whena company is doing something wrong, within the company and outside to the general population (the individual blog world will continue to increase as people become more apt to share data and knowledge). Society is changing. It is evolving into a greater beast. Maybe…

In the world in which we are all connected the economy will turn into something a little different…perhaps a social industrialism will arise. Imagine a system which always knows the needs and the wants of all groups and can communicate those needs and wants instantly to all of those who have the ability to supply those needs. And then being tied directly to a system of communication that is socially monitored and policed to allow for immediate transfer of related funds because things like contracts will no longer be a necessity if all can see every transaction. Works will flow from project to project independent of any other than their skill set and possibly their desire for a geographic region to live in. In a perfectly transferred world of knowledge some projects would be very well done from remote locations (it happens today this way already with some knowledge works). If such a world happened what would be the benefit? Waste would go away. Companies would be able to focus on doing what they do best, produce. The skilled workers (the line people) would be the real owners of companies, letting their management level project be handled by the thinking mercenaries spoken of earlier. For those of you who work in sale,s imagine know what every single one of your potential leads had a need for before you called up. Imagine know Joe in Montana needed exactly 6 widgets to get the job done. The line worker would know as soon as Joe thought it out completely and so would every widget maker. Of course the computer would intelligently choose the one who would get the product the Joe the soonest under his very certain set of demands. Of course Joe would have the ability to choose who he buys from based upon experience and the peer to peer rating system (as well other factors – expertise is a certain material Joe is interested in, a group who happens to have made other pieces for this particular project, possibly even a group that happens to be on the other side of the planet, but has such a good reputation for their product that Joe’s customers will take nothing less). The engine would be much closer to perfectly efficient than it ever had been.

No system will ever be perfect, at least not in this particular dimension (unless we learn some new physics and figure it out), but at least this system would have at minimum 6.5 billion thinking computing geniuses (even the decently below average human is one of the smartest creatures on this planet) all deciding and thinking and inputting their thoughts and beliefs directly into an ever evolving system of supply and demand.

Eventually, economies, and governments, and taxes and anything of higher organization would evolve away. Leaving only the giant bank of human minds moving the society forward.
