In the end @michelbauwens1’s article here ended up being the closing note for this excellent series. It was published in Truthout a few weeks ago but we thought we’d give it the Commons Transition treatment before publishing it in the P2PF blog. Here’s an extract: The Connecting the Dots series has convincingly shown a number of interconnected reasons why the global system is in crisis, and why there is no way out without a structural transformation of the dominant neoliberal system. In our contribution, we want to stress the key importance of what we call a “value regime,” or simply put, the rules that determine what society and the economy consider to be of value. We must first look at the underlying modes of production — i.e. how value is created and distributed — and then construct solutions must that help create these changes in societal values. The emerging answer for a new mode of value creation is the re-emergence of the Commons. Read the full article here, and please share!
