Description
The Blue Commons: Rescuing the Economy of the Sea by Guy Standing is an urgent call to action for change in the way we manage our oceans. Giant corporations are plundering the world's oceans, driven by global finance and complicit states, with devastating economic and environmental consequences. The situation is dire, with rampant exploitation and corruption driving all aspects of the ocean economy, destroying communities and intensifying inequalities. However, Standing offers a toolkit for change, synthesizing the scale of the global problem and proposing a transformative worldview that prioritizes local community rights, human wellbeing, and ocean health. By building a Blue Commons alternative, we can tackle the fight against climate change and create a more sustainable future for our oceans. This landmark book is a searing analysis and inspiring call to action, offering a new perspective on how we can work together to rescue the economy of the sea.
