Description
A significant portion of our economy operates beneath the radar, comprising valuable yet often overlooked resources. The "commons" encompasses everything we share collectively, including natural gifts like air and oceans, as well as human creations such as public spaces and infrastructure.
Jonathan Rowe sheds light on the scale and value of the commons, its intricate relationship with the economy, and its importance to our personal and planetary well-being. He also explores a growing movement to recognize and defend the commons, from community initiatives to visionary proposals like a "sky trust" to address pollution.
This book offers a unifying narrative that brings together seemingly disparate battles for common wealth, providing a powerful idea that can help readers understand the broader context of economic issues.
