Meditations on the sharing economy


1. The economy is a domain of society that must create the conditions necessary to meet everyone’s basic needs and ensure the well-being of humanity, including care for the environment. 

2. Basic human needs include food, clothing, housing, medical care, social services, and education. These are fundamental human rights. 

3. The commons of humanity is the foundation for the resources, goods, and services essential to meeting basic human needs and ensuring the well-being of humanity. They must be managed with care, responsibility, and sustainability. 

4. Commercialization, which encourages competitiveness, self-interest, greed, and complacency, dominates modern economic and social thinking. It contributes significantly to widening social disparities and deepening economic inequality. 

5. Global economic inequality lies at the heart of many interconnected crises humanity faces today, including hunger, poverty, migration, war, and the climate crisis. 

6. Sharing and cooperation stand in direct opposition to commercialization and form the foundational principles of the sharing economy. 

7. Charity cannot replace a just economic system. The sharing economy is based on justice, not charity. 

8. The sharing economy encompasses diverse sharing activities at different levels, with a particular focus on the global level. Its purpose is to meet the basic needs of all people, ensure the well-being of humanity, and protect the environment. 

9. Through the sharing economy, humanity can thrive in prosperity, mutual respect, and peace, united as one large family sharing a common home—planet Earth. 

10. The sharing economy marks the beginning of a profound inner and outer transformation of humanity, founded on right human relations.
