…what? I don’t know what you’re getting at.
There is a bond within family that makes sharing food possible. There is distrust between strangers so that sharing is not usual. Generally people don’t share food at work.
What is needed to establish sharing as the primary way to resolve conflicts?
People share food all the time at work – if there’s a cake at an office party, you don’t fight over who gets what. People share more important things at work, too, like a saw at a construction site or a printer in an office. Competion has its uses, but it’s often destructive and wasteful.
Can those examples be generalized on how to handle resource conflicts?
Why not just say what you mean?
Cake is a present where everybody gets a slice because the cake was selected accordingly.
If only one person can get promoted, or an increased budget for wages is available, could that be resolved without managers, not just in theory but all over the world?
We’re talking about allocting scarce resources via cooperation, not competition. Whether you could make every organization completely flat (no managers) is tangential.
I see what you’re getting at, though, and yes, of course we can allocate scarce resources by cooperation at a global scale. It already happens even in capitalist countries on issues of tremendous importance, see the negotiations around how water from the Colorado River is allocated.
