[P2P-F] [Commoning] compiling a directory of commons-oriented economists

Thu Jul 14 17:32:49 CEST 2011

Hi Michel, on this list I don't have suggestions.

But I wanted to contribute with some names to your work.

Very useful, though I agree with others that a commons approach to economy
implies a redefinition of what is economy, what is value and a radical
re-discussion about the measures (and the structures of power) which are
embedded in the capitalistic money codes. And therefore economists as such
aren't sufficient to cover all the implications.

As an example, not too far from economic studies, of how to start to reframe
the problems comes from the studies that mainly antropologists and
economists of the social and solidarity economy schools have done, mainly
moving from the work of Polanyi and Mauss. Names like Louis Coraggio in
Latin America and Jean Louis Laville in Europe are exemples. But they
normally don't use (yet, I guess) the notion of the commons. I am quite sure
it would be quite stimulating a mutual learning between commoners and these
studies.

It remains the doubt that if we insert in the list anybody we feel
potentially fertile in a commons approach (ecologists, political scientists,
sociologists, anthropologists, etc.) we loose specificity. If we list only
economists we remain trapped into a too narrow definition of an "ecommony".

Meanwhile we think about this, I contribute with few more names of
economists - many women! - who used explicitly a commons approach.
Elson,Diane (1998) Market Socialism or Socialization of the Market’, New
Left Review, No 172, Nov/Dec, 1998, pp. 3–44.

Mellor, Mary ( 2010). The Future of Money, Pluto Press.

Ricoveri, Giovanna, (2010). Beni comuni vs merci. Jaka Book.

On the digital commons I would add

Weber, Steve. (2005). The Success of Open Source. Harvard University Press.

 On femminism and commons:

Federici, Silvia. (2010). Femminism and the Politics of the Commons.

 In Italy, Marcello Cini, who is a physicist, writes since years on
knowledge economy and commons. His last book: Sergio *Bellucci* e *Marcello
Cini* firmano ''Lo spettro del capitale .Per una critica dell'economia della
conoscenza''(Codici Edizioni 2009

 In Spain, there is an interesting collective, called YProductions
