Abstract

Presents a foundational re-thinking of the commons--the self-organized social system that humans have used for millennia to meet their needs. Bollier and Helfrich offer a vision of a future beyond the dead-end binary of capitalism versus socialism. The authors cover the internal dynamics of commoning, how the commoning worldview opens up new possibilities for change, the role of language in reorienting our perceptions and political strategies, and seeing the potential for commoning everywhere. They provide a non-academic synthesis of contemporary commons and present a narrative: that we can be free and creative people, govern ourselves through fair and accountable institutions, and experience the aliveness of authentic human presence. --Adapted from publisher description.

Abstract

Dieses Buch macht Mut. Es vereint ein Denken in Beziehungen mit einer neuen Art zu handeln. Das Ziel: eine freie, faire und lebendige Gesellschaft. Doch das Gewohnte hat sich tief eingegraben in unseren Köpfen, in unserem Alltag, in Markt und Staat.Silke Helfrich und David Bollier entwerfen dagegen ein Programm für ein gelingendes Miteinander, ein anderes Politikverständnis und ein sorgsames Wirtschaften. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei Commons-Praktiken. Sie zeigen, wie wir in Verschiedenheit gemeinsame Ziele verfolgen. Dabei können Häuser und Fahrzeuge in ähnlicher Weise wie ein Wiki entstehen. Das Buch stiftet an, wie ein »Commoner« zu denken. Es bietet eine Sprache für die Welt von morgen. Es verändert nicht nur die Wirtschaft und die Politik - es verändert uns. This book is meant to encourage. It unites relational thinking with a new way of acting. The goal: a free, fair and vibrant society. But what we are used to is deeply rooted in our minds, in our everyday lives, in the market and the state. Silke Helfrich and David Bollier uncover traditional patterns of thought and design a program for a successful cooperation, a different political understanding and a caring economy. They focus on practices, showing how we pursue common goals in diversity. In practice, houses and vehicles can be built in a similar way to Wikipedia. The book also encourages us to think like a »Commoner«. It offers a language for the world of tomorrow. It not only changes the economy and politics - it changes us.
