When
our institutions (Nations, Companies, Identities) fail us, we need to take the
power away from the man behind the curtain. Small a anarchy inverts hierarchy.
It recognises the danger in central decision making. The danger of lost
information and distorted incentives that comes with the intentional creation
of barriers to entry around wealth and information. Small a anarchy is not
about creating chaos or lack of rule of law. Quite the opposite. When you
empower individual decision and agreement making, you recognise and support the
power of the multiple relationships that make up society. Imagine a world full
of capitalists, in the sense that everyone had a buffer of cash and an engine
of capital that allowed their No and Yes to be meaningful. Autonomy. Consent.
This doesn’t mean people can do whatever they want. It means we are empowered
to build agreements. It means a spontaneous order that has the resilience and
endurance to deal with whatever comes our way. Learning. Unlearning. Contributing.
