hi marco, thanks for this, very useful, and I have updated the list with your suggestions,

I totally agree we have to go beyond economics in moving towards a commons-oriented society and you will see in my list many names not normally recognized as 'economists'; nevertheless I think a specific dialogue with and in order to change the economics profession and general attitude, remains useful (recognizing the relative autonomy of the field and the power it still has over us)

thanks also to Wolfgang for his suggestions,

Michel

Hi Michel, on this list I don't have suggestions.

But I wanted to contribute with some names to your work.

Very useful, though I agree with others that a commons approach to economy implies a redefinition of what is economy, what is value and a radical re-discussion about the measures (and the structures of power) which are embedded in the capitalistic money codes. And therefore economists as such aren't sufficient to cover all the implications.

As an example, not too far from economic studies, of how to start to reframe the problems comes from the studies that mainly antropologists and economists of the social and solidarity economy schools have done, mainly moving from the work of Polanyi and Mauss. Names like Louis Coraggio in Latin America and Jean Louis Laville in Europe are exemples. But they normally don't use (yet, I guess) the notion of the commons. I am quite sure it would be quite stimulating a mutual learning between commoners and these studies.

It remains the doubt that if we insert in the list anybody we feel potentially fertile in a commons approach (ecologists, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, etc.) we loose specificity. If we list only economists we remain trapped into a too narrow definition of an "ecommony".

Meanwhile we think about this, I contribute with few more names of economists - many women! - who used explicitly a commons approach.

Dear friends,

I'm seeking assistance to continue the compilation of http://p2pfoundation.net/Commons-Oriented_Economists

Could you look at the membership list of the World Economics Assn. below, and if any name rings a bell, let me know about, along with some specifics (what domain, what aspect of the commons you know they are specifically involved in?)

Many thanks for considering this,

Michel Bauwens
