An Open Source Company using Trust Metrics

Thank you for your participation and interest in the Mises Community. This software platform has seen its day, however, and so is now closed. We are redoing our entire site, so look for some exciting developments by the end of the year. Thank you for your support of Austrian economics, liberty, and peace.

Read an interesting article, and wanted to see how those here will react.

Essentially the entrepreneur considers states the following idealized company/business form:  “Totally open. No concept of bosses or employees. Anyone could join in at any time, doing whatever task they found interesting, for whatever time they found appropriate.”

Mechanically, it handles compensation by using Trust Metrics (detailed in the article somewhat) to determine contribution and applicable rewards.  Everyone working in this manner is essentially in the US a 1099 filing independent contractor, as for supplying the requisite rake towards their relevant State Mafia provider.
