The shift to a Prosumption Economic Model from a Consumption Model is the Future of Capitalism
Why is a shift to a Prosumption Economic Model from a Consumption Model is the Future of Capitalism? Capitalism was built as a top-down model (10%) to exclude the bottom (90%) via over-leverage for over 350 years of resources ~ environment, land, people, skills, etc. and where the basis was simply the Consumption model the base was simply demand & supply and this lead to;
i: 80:20 model where more than 90% of the worlds resources that converted to wealth were by the 10% of the population
ii. 80% of the model called the BOP left out or EXCLUDED from the model of wealth creation
iii. The base of all models, businesses, products, services and accounting simply being what could be consumed even discounted at large premiums to future earnings like credit cards as a basis to acquire products & services
iv. No accounting for consumption of any resource that should be reused like CO2 or land
v. Where what you consume is based on what you may produce is the basis in the future (Credit cards)
The result repeated cycles from history of;
Global economic collapse in 2008-2009
Divide
Have and have-nots
UN MDG
Environmental degradation
BOP
.
.
.
.
.
the list goes on and the cycles repeat themselves.
So why is Prosumption different?
i Where what you resource you produce based on what resource you consume is the basis and not you may produce in the future (Debit vs. Credit cards)
i. Bottom-up & Inclusive model ~ Based on the 80% being micro-equity/equity holders along with the 20%
"It is not Mass Production but Production by the Masses that will make India and India's village self sustainable" ~ Mahatma Gandhi
ii. All resources included on Ratio of Reusable Output/Reusable Input and all non-reusable outputs and inputs being accounted for
iii. Hybrid of Micro:Macro (Microeconomies drive Macroeconomies)
This creates a constant state of equiliburium from a socio-natural resource-economic standpoint and where the future of all countries, societies and economies that lead by Prosumption Economics will always continue to adapt, evolve and survive with no systemic shocks that disrupt nature, society or wealth creation.
Prosumption based Capitalism is the foundation for the future, today!

Why Sustainable & Inclusive growth is a terrific business opportunity, albeit for all Stakeholders!

Micro is the new Macro and the next tectonic shift!

Now we know why tens of millions of micro-entrpereneurs and micro-skills are today driving the fundamentals in countries like India, China where millions of small businesses exist and where large global corporations with top down business models based on consumption are working overtime to compete and just cannot. Look at multiple examples;
i. Debit cards
ii.Informal channels of people lending capital to each other based on social capital
iii. Millions of mom&pop/kirana stores
iv. Amul
v. STD booths & 500m mobile phones
vi. Dabawallas
vii. Micro service providers such as maids, drivers, etc.

The writing is not on the wall, it is the new model for capitalism, all micro, bottom-up, inclusive, all resources & communities and where Prosumption economics will make a real difference to social change and evolution of societies.
