Writer, philosopher and long-time contributor to PeakProsperity.com, Charles Hugh Smith, returns to the podcast to explain the new socio-economic model he has just introduced to the world through his new book\u00a0A Hacker\u2019s Teleology: Sharing the Wealth of Our Shrinking Planet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The main mission behind Peak Prosperity is to focus on new, more regenerative and sustainable models that will better serve humanity than the old models which are currently falling apart. Charles posits a new way of living that is a) achievable with existing resources and technology, and b) much more equitable and resistant to abuse.<\/p>\n

We very much need new alternatives like this at this time. Because, once the system breaks in earnest, our \u2018leaders\u2019 will be desperate \u2014 and as Jared Diamond wisely observed \u201cNations in crisis borrow and adapt solutions already devised\u201d. So getting good ideas on the table now, so that they\u2019re available to be adopted when needed, is critical.<\/p>\n

The principal idea is\u00a0we need a new system<\/strong>. Now, it doesn\u2019t have to replace the existing system entirely. It just has to be an effective alternative that people can choose if they so desire to.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, it needs to be decentralized, anti-fragile, yet connected with other like-minded people. But right now, we\u2019re having to start from scratch, basically reinventing the wheel. We\u2019re fighting a kludgy, broken, unfair, rigged system every step of the way if we want to create a decentralized community-based economy.<\/p>\n

So what would a system be like if we designed it from scratch to actually make it easy to join a community economy? Well, we want a system that\u2019s opt-in and voluntary, not like the one we have now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
