What social organization would enable us to live 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 human-scale organizations, in order to limit hierarchical layers and favor those who do the work rather than those who manage resources.

•	Strategic decisions are made in accordance with a formalism aimed at ensuring the rigor of reasoning. These decisions are regularly audited.

•

The introduction of a strategic rating system to entrust the most impactful decisions for the collective to those most capable of making decisions consistent with the general interest and in accordance with the scientific method.
This contrasts with current systems in which such decisions are entrusted to those who have the most success in the game of alliances.

•	It is the spirit, not the letter, of the law that prevails. Moreover, a decision or law holds only as long as the reasoning that led to it holds. This contrasts with current systems in which voting and statutory power ratify and abolish decisions and laws.

The effect of such a social organization is, on the one hand, to enable degrowth, thereby respecting ecological constraints—i.e., living in harmony with nature—and, on the other hand, to restore trust in the quality of collective decisions, i.e., social harmony.

To explore further

See the question 'Necessary condition for a satisfactory social organization' which explains why current social organizations (democracy, enlightened dictatorship or not) cannot become satisfactory through mere refinement.

The notion of strategic rating is introduced in chapter 7 'Transcending the Enlightenment philosophical vision' of the book From Capital to Reason, and developed in chapter 11 'Operational control'.

Read on this site the answers to the two questions 'How to meet the ecological constraint?' and 'How to halt the slow degradation of the social fabric, which leads to civil war?', then all the questions in the section 'The foundational concepts of the book From Capital to Reason'
[hubert_tonneau/80YT8HPT/0MEITH5/0MEITH515].
'.
Then, the first part of the book From Capital to Reason explains why the social organization must be built in this way, and the second part describes this social organization in more detail.
