“…It will be a major leadership challenge to transform social protection systems and related institutions responsive to ever flattening hierarchies. But, in principle, when imagining how to react to the distributional effects of automatisation, Susskind and Susskind [41] argue for Rawlsian egalitarianism: if a person has to choose behind 'a veil of ignorance', most people prefer a society where most medical help, legal advice, news, business assistance, and so forth are broadly available, to one where property is only owned by the few.…”

The article discusses possible futures of selforganising peer-to-peer work through four transformative scenarios constructed in the Neo-Carbon Energy research project. These futures images probe the futures of work from the perspective of peer-to-peer organisations and distributed renewable energy production. The scenarios lay a systemic view on the development of societies, studying how decentralised renewable energy with low costs could affect society and its social relations. We anticipate the emergence of a digital meaning society, in which the economy is based on the production of meanings and meaningfulness. The article analyses the results of a futures workshop on the futures of work by classifying them to seven core themes. The results of the analysis are compared to related implications for policy-making, and to the Millennium Project Work/Technology Scenarios 2050 for international perspectives. The article presents possible disruptions and key emerging issues, including the novel drivers for inequalities of peer-to-peer work.

“…So, even if the effect is not long-term, we may need to go through a disruptive period of mass unemployment. Additionally, some people have asserted that it will not just be low-skilled jobs that will be affected, but also professional, knowledge-based ones [6].…”

“…Thinkers in both the academia and the private sector believe that the speed of the current technological changes and the scale at which they could disrupt the world of work are largely without precedent [6,33,44]. Digital technologies are predicted to increase the automation of different work tasks, resulting in job destruction, or in turn, the creation of completely new jobs that were previously unimaginable.…”
