August 29 Global Awakin Call: David Bollier
The Wealth of the Commons: A World Beyond Market and State

David Bollier is an author, activist, blogger and consultant who spends a lot of time exploring the commons as a new paradigm of economics, politics and culture. He’s been on this trail for about fifteen years, working with a variety of international and domestic partners. In 2010, he co-founded the Commons Strategies Group, a consulting project that works to promote the commons internationally.

His work on the commons takes many forms — as an author and blogger; frequent international speaker; conference and workshop organizer; contributor to book anthologies; designer of courses on the commons; and advisor and strategist. More at About David Bollier.

David’s book The Wealth of the Commons: A World Beyond Market and State, which he co-edited with Silke Helfrich and published with support from the Heinrich Böll Foundation, is a collection of essays from around the world by activists engaged in building various kinds of commons. In their own words:

This growing movement consists of activists fighting international land grabs and the privatization of water; commoners collectively managing forests, fisheries and farmlands; Internet users generating software and Web content that can be shared and improved; and urban dwellers reclaiming public spaces. The Wealth of the Commons brings together the most vibrant strands of this burgeoning international work into a single volume, revealing the significant potential of the commons as a new force in politics, economics and culture…

Our goal in assembling the essays in The Wealth of the Commons has been to showcase the great diversity of voices, types of resources and geographic circumstances related to the commons – and the great political relevance of the commons for our time. The book also seeks to show the range of enclosures of the commons now underway, theoretical approaches to understanding the commons, and specific projects that use commons principles to generate, protect and share resources.

Aryae believes that this book, David’s work in general, and the global commons movement of which they’re a part, give us a powerful context for understanding and actualizing the role of the OWL community.

Consistent with their philosophy, their book is available to browse online at no charge at The Wealth of the Commons. It’s available to purchase at Amazon.

Aryae will be interviewing David.

Information and sign-up for this call (starting six days in advance) is at Awakin Calls.
The call is at 9:00 AM Pacific Time on Saturday, August 29.
