I am interested in finding any models of new tribal economic ventures that get into the details of how a group in this mode can successfully operate. For example: How do groups structure decision-making and other tasks that have usually been embedded in hierarchical structures? Do they place a value (monetary or other) on different tasks in a more complex group, or does everyone share in the success and/or failure equally? How do groups deal with questions of venture capital? Or is there a more flexible model for funding and investing? • Ishmael.org, the work & philosophy of Daniel Quinn
