Dear friends, I started my journey to the commons in large part through the reading of the school of cognitive capitalism, starting with Empire of Negri/Hardt, then moving on the vercellone/fumagalli/mazzarato and the first 25 issues of Multitudes magazine. I've always was weary thought that speaking of the common, instead of the commons, made it into a more metaphysical approach, loosing its concreteness, but with this article here, https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Common_as_a_Mode_of_Production, I'm rediscovering that this post-autonomist tendency has clarified a lot of the issues, and so if you want to read how the common can productively lead to the commons, this is a very good start. a good and just a bit longer follow-up, is http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0263276415597770 see also this very cogent attitude to the basic income: https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Andrea_Fumagalli_on_the_Five_Criteria_To_Dist... -- 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
