Michel ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Bollier <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 8:58 PM Subject: Re: Article in Financial Times To: Michel Bauwens <[email protected]> Michel, Here's my top-of-mind list of commons-oriented or -friendly economists: Josh Farley, U. of Vermont (ecological economics, community development) Robert Costanza, U. of Oregon (a leading ecological economist; not sure of commons-orientation) James Boyce, UMass Amherst (ecological economics) Nancy Folbre, UMass Amherst (feminist economics/caring economy) Gerald Epstein, UMass Amherst (cooperatives) Katherine Gibson, Australia (community economics; former writing partner with the late Julie Graham, a.k.a., J.-K. Gibson-Graham) Elinor Ostrom, Arizona State & Indiana U. (commons; not an economist, but she might as well be) Wolfgang Hoeschele, Truman State University, Missouri (Solidarity Economy, commons) Sam Bowles, Santa Fe Institute (economics as seen through complexity theory & evolutionary sciences) Yochai Benkler, Harvard Law School (digital commons; not an economist, but he might as well be) Peter Barnes, Pt. Reyes Station, California (former entrepreneur; commons; Sky Trust) * David Korten, author Richard Norgaard, UC Berkeley Wolfgang Sachs, Wuppertal Institute, Germany Herman Daly (?), perhaps too economistic and not commons-oriented enough, based on a brief encounter with him. Association for Georgist Studies (the Henry George crowd) E.F. Schumacher Foundation: hosts annual lecture series that often includes iconoclastic economist-types New Economics Institute: Schumacher spinoff with ties to New Economics Foundation in UK, which aspires to develop alternative economic approaches. A more nominal than real project because it has so little money. Peter Barnes hosted a small retreat of commons-oriented economists in Santa Barbara 5-7 years ago. He would be worth consulting if we ever try to do something in this area. There are probably some other economists or near-economists who attended the ICC. ------- David -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens
