Dirk Philipsen "Tragedy of the Commons Revisited" MdM Keynote Barcelona 2022
Channel: Wesley Hogan
Date: 23/11/2022

This talk explores the idea of property. 

It examines the extent to which endless and exponential economic growth is rooted, both conceptually and historically, in property, a historical construct that predated growth, and without which there is no growth. 

Within capitalist economies, growth is the basis of concentrated power, escalating inequality, ecological destruction, and what I call the tragedy of the private.
