Hi, I’m Josh and I’m writing a book about blockchain for cooperatives and other organizations wanting to implement radical forms of democracy

In software, when people talk about decentralization, usually this refers to the resilience of a technical system to continue functioning without issue when a part of it has gone down or offline. In the blockchain community, decentralisation is an imperative, and new areas filled with centralisation should be explored and questioned. One of the largest sources of centralisation in most people’s lives is their “9 to 5” or the place people spend 40 or more hours per week. Worker-owned cooperatives are a proven form of resilient economic organization that tackles one of the roots of growing inequalities. This is why I am writing a book to help cooperatives and other organizations seeking to find radical solutions for workplace democracy through the use of platform coops and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) .

I am a Blockchain Solutions Architect based in Brussels and Paris researching and exploring novel economic models inspired by cooperatives through the use of decentralised technologies.
