Description: Presents a collection of essays introducing readers to more than fifty notable commons from around the world and exploring the inner dynamics of commoning with sensitivity. Contributors from twenty countries explain how commoning is empowering people to challenge the deep pathologies of contemporary capitalism and invent participatory alternatives. A special series of essays explores the inner dynamics of commoning--its ethics, social practices and worldview--to explain why the building of new worlds starts from within. --Adapted from publisher description.
