Location: Pimlico Academy, Lupus Street, SW1V 3AT . Map <http://schoolofcommoning.cmail4.com/t/r/l/tiludyk/mkjstjyk/m/>. It is the second event of the series 'Meetings with Remarkable Commoners'. (The blog about the first event is here<http://schoolofcommoning.cmail4.com/t/r/l/tiludyk/mkjstjyk/c/>.) The theme is “Managing the Local and Global Commons.” Introduction: “Modern economics has turned labour into a utility of the market and government. But the principles of the commons (people’s negotiation of their own norms and rules for the management of social and natural resources) show us how to transcend utilitarian economics by transforming the traditional division of labour. New forms of value are already being created by these commons, whether they are traditional (irrigation ditches, pastures, indigenous cultures) or emerging (intellectual property, social networks, collaborative innovation).” This is a unique opportunity to benefit from meeting with James Quilligan during his UK tour. Go to our Meet-Up site<http://schoolofcommoning.cmail4.com/t/r/l/tiludyk/mkjstjyk/q/> for programme description and registration by clicking on the RSVP button.
