Stacco Troncoso started a discussion in Commons Transition:

Connecting the Dots the P2P Way: The Commons as the Response to the Structural Crises of the Global System

This article was originally commissioned as part of the Rules’ excellent series on “Connecting the Dots” (of the global crisis) which we republished in full in the P2PF blog. 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.
