Frameworks
The architectural blueprints for a post-labor world
🔺 Two Pyramids, One Future
The Pyramid of Prosperity addresses how income flows. The Pyramid of Power addresses how democracy works. Together, they provide a complete framework for post-labor economics.
Pyramid of Prosperity
How do people receive income when jobs disappear? This five-layer framework shows how ownership replaces wages, ensuring everyone benefits from automated production.
- 5 Residual Wages (protected human work)
- 4 Individual Assets (baby bonds, portfolios)
- 3 Collective Private (cooperatives, ESOPs)
- 2 Public Assets (sovereign wealth funds)
- 1 Universals (UBI, healthcare, services)
Pyramid of Power
How do citizens maintain leverage when labor power disappears? This framework shows how algorithmic systems can replace labor power with new forms of democratic accountability.
- 5 Metagovernance (rules for changing rules)
- 4 Direct Democracy (participatory budgeting)
- 3 Transparency (open procurement)
- 2 Payment Rails (open systems like UPI)
- 1 Civic Bedrock (blockchain identity)
