Our Commons: Political Ideas for a New Europe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789492302359)

Our Commons: Political Ideas for a New Europe is a collection of essays, case studies and interviews about the commons, featuring reflections on the enclosure of knowledge and the monopolisation of the digital sphere, stories about renewable energy cooperatives and community foodwaste initiatives and urgent pleas to see the city as a commons and to treat health as a common good. With contributions by Kate Raworth, David Bollier, George Monbiot and many others, Our Commons is a political call to arms to all Europeans to embrace the commons and build a new Europe. Sophie Bloemen and Thomas de Groot worked on this book for almost two years, working with academics, policy makers, authors and activists to paint a colourful picture of the commons as the blueprint for a new future, one that is inclusive, ecologically sustainable, equitable, democratic, collaborative, creative and resilient.
