[P2P-F] Capitalism and the Commons

Mon Sep 2 12:25:16 CEST 2019

everything from Adam Arvidsson is always stimulating and worth reading:

"This article investigates the potential role of the commons in the future
transformation of digital capitalism by comparing it to the role of the
commons in the transition to capitalism. In medieval and early modern
Europe the commons supported gradual social and technological innovation as
well as a new civil society organized around the combination of
commons-based petty production and new ideals of freedom and equality.
Today the new commons generated by the global real subsumption of ordinary
life processes are supporting similar forms of commons-based petty
production. After positioning the new petty producers within the framework
of the crisis of digital capitalism, the article concludes by extrapolating
a number of hypothetical scenarios for their role in its future
transformation."
