In his well-known book Network Society and Future Scenarios for a Collaborative Economy, Bauwens does not merely criticize the capitalist system, but also attempts to discuss a possible alternative form for the world, which may contribute to the dialog in progress to construct the post-capitalism environment. The co-authors of the book regard the P2P infrastructure as a forthcoming condition for labor, economy and the society in general, and conceive it as a social development toward post-capitalism, which requires protection, implementation, and stimulation within the capitalist system. Through four scenarios, the authors simplify the possible results and attempt to inquire into the trajectory of the existing technological-economic paradigm within and beyond capitalism.
