The document discusses traditional solutions for governing scarce resources like land, money, and public goods using religion, markets, third parties, and local networks. It then explores concepts like the commons, tragedy of the commons, governing the commons, and how trust and social capital are important commons. Blockchain is presented as an evolution that could enable a "Trust Web" through high connectivity, trust, and simplicity on networks. The author envisions using this new technology to fund just and sustainable projects through decentralized organizations.
