[P2P-F] a new report on the emergent commons economy

Thu Feb 2 11:43:31 CET 2017

dear friends,

we would appreciate any spreading of the word on our latest report,
published by the Boll Foundation site, on 'Value in the Commons Economy':

http://commonstransition.org/value-commons-economy/

"What is at the heart of the problems erupting worldwide? Is anything good
emerging from these multiple crises? Can a new system grow from within the
old one? Is it already here, visible and thriving? These questions are
addressed by Michel Bauwens and Vasilis Niaros in this report, Value in the
Commons Economy, co-published by Heinrich Böll Foundation and the P2P
Foundation. The authors’ main thesis describes the ‘value crisis’ affecting
our current world as a sign of an underlying transformation in our ‘value
system’. Society is shifting from a system based on value created in a
market system (through labor and capital) to one which recognizes broader
value streams. These streams are experienced as ‘contributions’ to
structures based on the co-construction of shared resources, also known as
‘commons’. While this new system of value creation and distribution still
operates within the mainstream value orthodoxy today, the Value in the
Commons Economy report emphasizes how pioneering communities are working on
expanding the new system from within, and building the potential to
eventually break free of those confines."
