Repeated claims about the \"tragedy of the commons\" and the \"crisis of capitalism\" have done little to explain this concentration of land, encourage solution-building to solve resource depletion, or address our current socio-ecological crisis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Commons in an Age of Uncertainty\u003c\/i\u003e presents a new explanation, vision, and action plan based on the idea of commoning the land. The book argues that by commoning the land, rather than privatising it, we can develop the foundation for prosperity without destructive growth and address both local and global challenges. Making the land the most fundamental priority of all commons does not only give hope, it also opens the doors to a new world in which economy, environment, and society are decolonised and liberated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Franklin Obeng-Odoom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487501765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487501761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021","brand":"Franklin Obeng-Odoom","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48622570209535,"sku":"9781487501761","price":71.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-commons-in-an-age-franklin-obeng-odoom-9781487501761","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
