The US anarchist economist Kevin
Carson has built on insights from many anarchist thinkers and radicals including
Kropotkin and Ivan Illich to develop a sophisticated account of a decentralized
open source alternative. He sees capitalism as state capitalism, with firms
using the state to create market barriers such as patents to artificially raise
their profits. Capitalism leads, he notes to over accumulation, and
neoliberalism involves the state picking up the bill for such over investment.
Carson's practical anarchism is based on his concept of The HomeBrew Industrial
Revolution, utilizing decentralized and open source alternatives we can three D
print, brew and build local community production. Carson's work cannot be captured or critiqued
in a couple of paragraphs but it points to an economics beyond the corporation
and the state which can be implemented and advanced to create an
alternative. His work is on line and
free, so those interested can study in more detail here https://homebrewindustrialrevolution.wordpress.com/
