Agent-based models are frequently utilized within orthodox economics, where they are closely linked to unquestioned assumptions such as the belief that life and civilized liberal society ultimately revolves around self-interested individuals engaging in constant conflicts, and that only a free market operating on the basis of prices can effectively coordinate the dynamics of supply and demand. 
Additionally, there is the unchallenged notion of perpetual economic growth and the necessity of the accumulation of capital without end. Our small project wants to speak and argue against these assumptions by appropriating one central tool of academic economic thinking and argumentation, namely game theory or agent-based modeling and more generally computer simulation. 
We want to code and program small, rather experimental, still operative models, which model and simulate in small micro worlds our alternative theories of commoning and/or responsible social-ecological systems.
