The House We Can Renovate: A Blueprint for a Just Economy (Complete Synthesis)
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The Renovator’s Manifesto: A Synthesis for a Thermostat Commons is the definitive, complete synthesis of the Thermostat Commons blueprint—and a novel intervention in capitalism’s design. It contains the full, precise argument: the thermodynamic house allegory, the 98‑word Human Wealth Bond (HWB) mechanism, the phased transition to a Post‑Scarcity Commons, and the framework of cybernetic feedback. Unlike redistributive reforms that patch symptoms, this manifesto advances an original architecture: diagnosing inequality as a thermodynamic imbalance and proposing the HWB as a cybernetic instrument that rewires flows of value. By integrating applied cybernetics, institutional economics, and feminist political theory, it reframes capitalism as a solvable design problem. Intended as the master, citable archive of the vision, it distills technical blueprints into a persuasive flagship document—anchoring the Thermostat Commons Project with a new, actionable pathway to re‑equilibrate the system.
