Commons and Commoning

From: Free, Fair and Alive

$1.60

In the first chapter, the authors argue first that large-scale cooperation is possible for humans, and that commoning, our capacity to self-organize and help each other through creation of durable social systems, is happening everywhere around us, but that we have trouble recognizing it. They define and differentiate some key terms and then describe examples of the commons happening now around the world. They point out that we lack language to recognize and describe the patterns that commons share.
