These small groups are able to function without using a free market.
This because any member can monitor and be monitored by all other members.

With an augmented brain people could be able to work in bigger groups 
that don't need to use free markets to coordinate themselves.

With a augmented neocortex x4 the current one we could be able to 
participate in groups two times larger.

In a transhuman or posthuman society, the ability to coordinate bigger 
groups could enhance the productivity many times and keep under control 
defectors in larger groups.

We could extend our network of trust two or three times with ease.
This would change the resistance and resilience of the social structure 
in a way it is very difficult to understand.

This is a feature of a transhuman society that I think it is not well 
researched and speculated.
