combinationsmag.com is live! ✨ A publication by @RadxChange, exploring new ideas about economics, democracy, and the relationship between technology and power. If our societies are irreversibly technological, we must steer technology itself towards the common good, rather than accept it as an instrument of self-interest. To do that, our essays will examine institutional reconfigurations that can point to attractive futures for technologically mature societies—eschewing compounding power concentrations and opening up routes for more participatory paradigms. Our aim is to illuminate new possible paths, spotlighting connections between ideas, technologies, and social and political organization—to find maps of the present moment that might help us navigate it. The name Combinations reflects a belief that significant human progress often emerges at the junctures where diverse experiences and even paradoxical ideas can meet, exchange, and recombine. In this spirit, we offer our own, partial viewpoints, and seek to shed light on the work of thinkers and doers who have other perspectives. We believe that these people, ideas, and communities add up to more than the sum of their parts.
