Kalkiism: A Radical Vision for the Future Economy
Kalkiism: A Radical Vision for the Future Economy
In an age where robotics and artificial intelligence are rapidly transforming the global workforce, a groundbreaking economic philosophy is emerging to ensure humanity reaps the benefits of these immense productivity gains. Kalkiism, as outlined in the book The Kalkiist Manifesto, proposes a revolutionary system that challenges conventional economic norms and envisions a world built on equality, fairness, and human dignity.
What Is Kalkiism?
Kalkiism reimagines the economic structure by replacing money with time as the universal unit of value. In this system:
- All jobs earn the same hourly wage measured in time units (seconds, minutes, hours).
- Purchases are made using these time units, creating a standardized, equitable value system.
- Everyone has a job, including traditionally undervalued roles like caregiving and homemaking.
The idea is simple yet transformative: when you work eight hours, you earn eight hours. This approach eliminates disparities in wages, elevates all forms of labor to equal status, and ensures that the economy values contributions based on time rather than monetary worth.
The Role of Technology
Kalkiism recognizes that advancements in robotics and AI have unlocked unprecedented productivity potential. These technologies can handle repetitive, hazardous, or high-efficiency tasks, freeing human workers to focus on creative, social, and meaningful roles. Kalkiism leverages this shift by:
- Reducing reliance on long working hours.
- Ensuring the equitable distribution of AI-generated wealth and productivity gains.
- Emphasizing the importance of human labor in areas where technology cannot replicate empathy, care, and creativity.
Why Nepal?
The Manifesto suggests launching Kalkiism as a pilot project in Nepal. This small yet diverse nation provides an ideal testing ground for such a system due to its:
- Manageable population size.
- Existing challenges with economic disparity.
- Rich cultural emphasis on community and cooperation.
Starting small allows for iterative improvements and the development of scalable strategies before introducing Kalkiism on a global stage.
The Potential Benefits
Kalkiism offers a range of advantages that address some of today’s most pressing economic and social issues:
- Social Equity: By removing monetary disparities, Kalkiism eliminates the gap between high-paying and low-paying jobs.
- Recognition of Unpaid Work: Domestic and caregiving roles, often overlooked in traditional economies, are fully integrated and valued.
- Simplified Economy: Time replaces complex monetary systems, reducing corruption and inefficiency.
- Productivity and Fairness: Robotics and AI maximize production, ensuring everyone’s basic needs are met while maintaining fairness.
Challenges to Address
Despite its promise, Kalkiism raises several questions and challenges:
- Value of Specialized Labor: Professions requiring extensive training, like medicine or engineering, may need additional incentives to attract skilled individuals.
- Global Integration: Transitioning from a money-based global economy to a time-based one will require significant coordination and collaboration.
- Resource Allocation: Managing the distribution of scarce or high-demand resources could be complex without monetary pricing mechanisms.
- Innovation Incentives: Without monetary rewards, encouraging entrepreneurship and technological advancement might be difficult.
Open Questions
Kalkiism opens the door to intriguing possibilities, but some crucial questions remain:
- How will overconsumption or hoarding be addressed when goods are priced solely in time units?
- What systems will ensure meaningful societal contributions from all participants?
- How will international trade function under a time-based economic model?
The Vision Ahead
Kalkiism is more than an economic system; it is a call to rethink the way we value human effort and creativity in the age of automation. By aligning economic rewards with time—a resource every individual has equally—it aims to build a world where fairness, equality, and opportunity prevail.
As the pilot project in Nepal unfolds, the global community will watch closely to see if Kalkiism can deliver on its promises. Could this radical vision be the key to a fair and prosperous future? Only time will tell.

- Highest PoW transaction throughput
- NFTs can actually be stored on-chain (e.g @rarecandyio)
- Been 51% attacked, yet survived all
Ethereum because no one just coming in will be able to first learn/hear about another ecosystem. Maybe solana but highly doubt it

Online Courses And The Global South
 |
| Juan Lindo, president of El Salvador, 1841-42 (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Taking journals online, taking world class courses online fundamentally changes things. This below is a welcome report.
Online Courses Put Pressure on Universities in Poorer Nations
edX, the $60 million collaboration between MIT and Harvard to stream “massive open online courses,” or MOOCs, over the Web. ..... The University of El Salvador, located in San Salvador, is the only public university in the country. It spends $60 million a year to teach 50,000 students, and its budget is so limited that it can only accept about one-third of applicants. (By comparison, the University of Michigan, which has a similar number of students, spends $1.6 billion on its core academic mission, not including sports teams, dorms, and hospitals.) Protests over the shortage of spots regularly shut down the campus. Semesters don't end on time. The university doesn't appear in international rankings. ..... within 50 years there might only be 10 universities still “delivering” higher education. ...... One problem is out-of-date coursework. Martinez says computer science is still taught using the waterfall model, a programming approach that dates to the punch-card era. “A computer science student here spends the first six months doing flow diagrams, because that’s how we did it in the 1970s in El Salvador when we didn’t have any computers to work on,” he says. MOOCs, by contrast, are teaching a new technique known as agile software development in classes like edX’s CS169.1, which focuses on how Web-based programs such as Gmail are created.
