What kind of social organization would allow for living in harmony?

For example, the one described in the second part of the book From Capital to Reason.

It is based on several key concepts:

   •   

Production is carried out by organizations of a human size to limit hierarchical levels and favor those who do the work rather than those who manage resources.

   •   

Strategic decisions are made according to a formalism aiming at ensuring the rigor of reasoning. These decisions are regularly audited.

   •   

The introduction of a strategic rating system to assign the most impactful decisions for the community to those best suited to make decisions in line with the general interest and in accordance with the scientific method.This is in contrast with current systems, in which such decisions are entrusted to those who are most successful in the game of alliances.

   •   

It is the spirit and not the letter of the law that prevails. Moreover, a decision or law remains valid only as long as the reasoning that led to it holds up.This is in contrast with current systems, in which it is the vote and statutory power that confirm and abolish decisions and laws.

The effect of such a social organization is, on one hand, to enable degrowth and thus respect the ecological constraint—living in harmony with nature—and, on the other hand, to restore confidence in the quality of collective decisions—meaning social harmony.

Voir la question 'Condition nécessaire pour une organisation sociale satisfaisante' qui explique pourquoi les organisations sociales actuelles (démocratie, dictature éclairée ou non) ne peuvent devenir satisfaisantes par simple raffinement.

The concept of strategic rating is introduced in chapter 7 'Going Beyond the Philosophical Vision of the Enlightenment' of the book From Capital to Reason, and developed in chapter 11 'Operational Control'.

Read on this website the answers to the two questions 'How to satisfy the ecological constraint?' and 'How to halt the slow degradation of the social fabric leading to civil war?', and all the questions in the section 'The Founding Concepts of the Book From Capital to Reason'.'.
Then, the first part of the book From Capital to Reason explains why this kind of social organization needs to be built, and the second part describes this social organization in more detail.
