By: Victor Petit

The first one is to answer to the critics of the concept of degrowth, through the current reflections on the so-called commons ; the second is to...

We will wonder to what extent TdL may turn agricultural lands into a commons, following Elinor Ostrom’s definition. W...

Think Like a Commoner dispels such prejudices by explaining the rich history and promising future of the commons — an ageless paradigm of cooperation and fairness that is re-making our world. With graceful prose and...
