hi Roberto,

in my view, the answer is no, in the sense that

1) markets are about exchange, commons are about pooling and sharing resources

2) nothing is a commons, unless there is commoning and commons governance

so I believe that market'places' and market'spaces' can be made into commons

for example if we take digital marketplaces like uber and airbnb, they are emphatically not commons, but if the platform becomes a shared resources for participants, they they could be the commons of that marketplace,

Isn't the market itself a commons?
