Voluntary Economy

From Monetary Economy to Voluntary Economy

In this age, many economists believe that only the Monetary Economy is the economic principle that supports capitalism. But that is not true. There is another economic principle that has been supporting capitalism throughout history: the “Voluntary Economy.” That is the economic activity driven by people who want to satisfy their minds, without asking money for their activity. In the Internet age, the Voluntary Economy is becoming more and more influential in society. Many web communities promote the Voluntary Economy, for instance, the Linux community and the Wikipedia community.
