Spontaneous Order

There's a rule of nature many people recognize, but don't really appreciate. It happens when starlings flock together, when schools of fish form schools and when people ever skate together on an ice rink. John Stossel brilliantly exposed this phenomenon in his political expose here:

There are six parts in this series and nicely encapsulates everyone's ability to collaborate for a better goal.

Here is another explanation about how spontaneous order in the financial world could work:

"There IS an alternative to both Communism and Greed Capitalism. It is called Natural Moral Capitalism, or Communal Capitalism. It can and should include Open Money and a restoration of LOCAL, TANGIBLE, TRANSPARENT. We have relinked to Paradigms of Failure because what happened in the past 16 years under BOTH Clinton AND BUSH (Goldman Sachs being the common denominator owned Treasury) has been the total failure of all moral and social and legislative and executive and commercial parameters for integrity."

This is the reason I see colloborative capitalism, where everyone is a stockholder in the community corporation as the best solution to rid ourselves of the resource hoarding culture we've become. Spontaneous order is a rule in the universe and for too long we've gone against the grain and now a vast majority of people will have to suffer for some people's avarice. There is a better way and it's found in nature.
