The common The ability to go there now, so it's always for them now. It's a huge audience. Thank you very much. I have a guide in the photo. My name is Frida Righaama. I'm moved in a project, a common space project in the forest next to Berlin. I'm an economist and historian and work as an independent author and scientist. I've been on the last conference to half years ago. This time I felt much stronger in the intention to extend the notion of comments and what comments as a concept makes possible for the whole of economy and not just as something that is added to the economy's economic system as we have it. I felt a strong shift in this. I think it is an important shift. The first place where the first place was squatted and then brought by an association. Everybody who comes to us as part of this association and the basic idea is that the ground doesn't belong to anybody. So that people can come and stay and that you don't need to exchange neither money nor a certain amount of work to get your basic needs satisfied but satisfied. But this is the right for everybody who comes. This makes it a very wide range of nationalities and backgrounds of people who are there. How is it to be a commoner on a day-to-day basis like this? Exhaust day? Yeah, but I really like it. I'm willing to take the exhausting paths as well. It's not easy but I don't have a lot. I enjoyed a lot and I couldn't imagine to live a lot of life differently anymore. As an economist, I've been working for a long time on alternatives to capitalism, also from a feminist perspective and then I started, for example, I did a book about the alternative economy in Argentina after the financial crisis. And then I thought, okay, there's also a lot of going on in the German speaking area on approaches here and after I had written this book, I realized that you could describe the younger approaches coming up more or less since the year 2000 with the very same principles as free software production. And going deeper into this, I realized that in the end you can consider everything as a commons. And I think that it's a given characteristic of a good, but it's a social relation so everything can come as a commons. Then I turned the expression, the commoner, more or less, it's like a common space pure production. But with the commoner, I want to express that this has not only a validity for software production or singularities, but for the whole economy. And that's why I do this work, work play with it. Well, this is one important point for me that even with any alternative economy you still have the problem of work productivity. So any economy that works with an exchange logic has to deal with the point whether you work, you product the work, work as part of this exchange logic or not. And then you do have the problem is bringing the kit to bed as a part of this exchange logic or not. If it is privatized as in the furthest capitalist system, then it doesn't count as work and it's not acknowledged and we get no money for it in a system where they need money. If it is part of the logic like it is more on the new level system now, very often habits, then the nurses are not allowed to give any real care, any attention to the patient because they have to be very efficient. This is not what we want, of course. Still it is more sub-ordinated people who have to do this work, it used to be women more and more, it is migrants who do this kind of work. So this shows that with an exchange logic you can't solve it, but if you have a common space and common producing economy that is based on contributing instead of exchange logic, then you have intrinsic motivation instead of extrinsic motivation. And you have people doing something because they want to care because they feel responsible for care because... Yeah, and then this dividing line between reproduction, reproduction blurs and resources, and you don't have this problem anymore. In terms, in relation to common, I think it is very important to understand that this is not something made up by the left at the desk in the office, but that it is something that is and has been valid for most parts in history and cultures in the world. And so of course it is very important for me to have all these experiences from all the parts of the world coming together. Lawn background is also in the alter-groupization movement, and only recently I understood how important these experiences have been for what I'm doing now with alternative economics because I had a lot to do with grassroots movement in India or in Colombia where they don't have an absolute autonomous detached economy to capitalism. But where these different principles are still valid and are very important for the movement as an economical basis, but also as a different way of life, different way to see things and to do with things. And so I hope that for the next conference, it had been set in the opening session, it would be more movement oriented, and this is what I hope for. There is one thing that sends it is a long one. So maybe just let me mention the principles I see, what I would call a common need. It is first that it's not ownership that matters, but it is possession. So this is not only exactly what it's using, but possession means it is needed, it is all used by somebody. You have this with the comments as land, this is how we live in my project, but you have it with things that you can give away when they are not in your possession anymore. This is one principle, the next principle is share what you can, so again what you don't need, you can give, but you can also share your knowledge, your skills. And this goes into the next principle of contributing and set of exchange logic that you act by intrinsic motivation and not by extrinsic rewards. And this is how common space and common space producing economy comes together. You
