Description
Perspectives on Commoning Autonomist Principles and Practices offers a radical approach to understanding the commons as social practice. This book challenges traditional notions of governance and dichotomies between private and public spheres, instead focusing on the act of commoning.
International contributors cover a range of topics, from biopolitics to urban spaces, providing both theoretical frameworks and practical proposals for the future. By consolidating philosophy, sociology, and economics, this book aims to unlock the full emancipatory potential of the commons as practice.
A useful review of current conceptions and a valuable resource for those seeking new ideas on the social and political domain, Perspectives on Commoning Autonomist Principles and Practices is an important contribution to ongoing discussions about the future of democracy and economic systems.
