Re: [ox-en] There is no such thing like "peer money"

what do you do if demand for unpopular, repetetive, boring tasks (like
cleaning or most of the typical manufacturing tasks) exceeds supply of
people willing to do the task on a reliable, lasting basis? dropping all
"excessive" projects until demand meets supply for the specific task
doesnt seem like a reasonable solution.


they are "weighted higher", i.e. if you decide to perform an unpopular task,
you have to do less of it than when you perform a popular task.
Read the book.

I suggest that shareable goods are but one instance of a broader phenomenon
[...]. Social production and exchange comprises a third system of
production, a class of solutions to production problems that is separate
from, and can complement or substitute for, the two more commonly studied
systems: markets--through both the price system and the firm--and the
state.
