Free, fair, and alive : the insurgent power of the commons / David Bollier & Silke Helfrich. by Bollier, David. New Society Publishers, 2019. Call #: 333.2 B692f Subjects Commons. ISBN:  9780865719217 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Insurgent power of the commons Description:  viii, 439 p. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Contents:  Commons and Commoning -- The OntoShift to the Commons -- Language and the Creation of Commons -- Social Life -- Peer Governance -- Provisioning Through Commons -- Rethink Property -- Relationalize Property -- State Power and Commoning -- Take Commoning to Scale. Summary:  "From co-housing and agroecology to fisheries and open-source everything, people are increasingly using "commoning" to emancipate themselves from a predatory market-state system. Free, Fair, and Alive presents a foundational re-thinking of the commons, the self-organized social system that humans have used for millennia to meet their needs. It offers a compelling vision of a future beyond the dead-end binary of capitalism versus socialism that has almost brought the world to its knees. Written by two leading commons activists of our time, this guide is a penetrating cultural critique, table-pounding political treatise, and practical playbook. Highly readable and full of colorful stories, coverage includes: Internal dynamics of commoning ; how the commons worldview opens up new possibilities for change ; role of language in reorienting our perceptions and political strategies ; seeing the potential of commoning everywhere. Free, Fair, and Alive provides a fresh, non-academic synthesis of contemporary commons written for a popular, activist-minded audience. It presents a compelling narrative: that we can be free and creative people, govern ourselves through fair and accountable institutions, and experience the aliveness of authentic human presence."--Back cover.
