Rethinking Property

From: Free, Fair and Alive

$2.90

The seventh chapter examines the relationship between property law and ideas of ownership and commons, and finds them to be largely incompatible. The authors propose ways to rethink property and ownership that are more aligned with commons and commoning. They unpack ideas that sort along with property that will also need to be examined, such as the ways individualism and freedom are expressed through property. Then they introduce ideas about relationality of property and collective property, and make a distinction between property and possession.
