INDEP online Talk with CibCom on Cybernetics, Planning and Democracy

In this event CibCom (acronym for Cibercomunismo), an interdisciplinary research group from the Spanish speaking world, will introduce themselves and their work. They argue that the idea of the market as the best possible resource allocator has long been surpassed by advances in digital technology. Corporations already plan their production and distribution on a global scale through cybernetic systems processing vast amounts of data in real time. The only remaining question is in whose service economic planning is done – Planning in the hands of the oligarchy, and thus based on private profit? Or democratic planning addressing social needs? They claim that for the first time, the tools exist to make the latter real: a global cybernetic system for the people, coordinating the production process based on real-time feedback.

The event will be in English.
