HOLD THIS IMAGE IN MIND
NOT an Integral map, since the stages of the Upper Right and Lower Right quadrants are highly differentiated, while the items in the Upper Left and Lower Left quadrants are repressed or malformed stages (as indicated by parentheses) in the actualization of personal and commons capital.
The Market State creates many forms of dissociation denying autonomy of personal capital & increasing the division of commons capital: including the division of labour, resource extraction, rent, surplus accumulation, issuance of currency, interest rates, debt, commodification, reductionism, disinformation, deterritorialization, subsistence, slavery, colonialism, state terrorism, oppression, violence and war.

This Figure suggests historical and current parallels between the development of political economy and the development of individual and collective conscious value.
It also anticipates new areas of realization, growth and organisation that will result from a transformation of the personal motivations, drives and meaning involved in people's shared management of their commons, which in turn will transform political economy both nationally and globally.
James Quilligan from ‘The Commons and Integral Capital’ www.kosmosjournal.org in the Spring 2009 number
James Quilligan has been developing insights about managing local and global Commons demonstrating how in a spiritually founded Commons-based Economy :
- consumers become the producers of their own resources
- trusts set a cap on the extraction and use of a resource to preserve it for future generations
- businesses flourish by renting a proportion of the resources outside the cap for extraction and production
- governments tax a percentage of these rents, funding a basic income for citizens and the restoration of depleted resources
- the power of decision-making returns to the people, enabling them to participate in the decisions that affect them directly
- the traditional property ownership model is balanced by a trusteeship model of sustainability, quality of life and well-being
- the lessons of community-based resource management have major implications for post-liberal forms of multilateralism and global governance.
