Maybe a digital society or as the article in Newsweek ponders a virtual residency could be a start. The E-stonia website is here. The FB site is here.

questions abound

taxation & so forth
can it secure itself against the opposing forces of status quo & crony capital corruption
... including the return of the Soviet Union
... & the economic power of Red China
how do people get closer to their producers of goods & services & vocations in relationship to each other if it is all spread throughout the world?
...
could Bitcoin like currency be improved & contracting itself be secure by adding some supercomputers to the systems & also make it unhackable & anonymous where it needs to be if ever?

50 years later after Johnson declared a war on poverty AND 22 trillion $$$ later we still have poverty according to the politicians making plans. As a matter of scale the increase in population since 1964 was ~ 130 million. So 22 trillion over that population for the 50 years is $938,462 per person or $18,769 per person per year.
For the more authoritative story go here.

Maybe it is time to try an economic system free of government - like NOW!

BTW that's a 2/3 or 67% increase in population ignoring that what was spent came from those who were not in poverty.

this is one of the best short descriptions of threefolding that i have heard:

In contrast to technocratic thinking, Steiner believed that creative autonomy and the experience of direct interaction with other human beings must have a prominent place in any society worth living in. Therefore, the social world must always be accessible to the experience and influence of individuals. Moreover, Steiner was convinced that societies don’t need to be managed at all. They would be naturally stable, he thought, if groups and individuals respected their ‘inherent laws’ �" or what Steiner called the “threefold social order:” democracy in political life, freedom in cultural life (including education), and cooperation in economic life (or “associative economies”), with each sphere having enough strength and independence to correct any problems in the others.
