Patterns of Commoning

this is the most important stuff in the world, and this book can serve as a fine jumping off point for further study. I prefer bollier’s Think Like A Commoner, though, as a focused look at the topic. The early chapters of this are great as they provide a real pattern language; that format drops off tho and it becomes more of a hodgepodge of stories and essays, which i found disappointing. Yes the world is alive, no we can’t survive as commodities under capitalism, yes there are alternatives— but how? Desperately we need to get clearer on how, because it’s hard. I am resolved to keep looking.
