Hi commoners and peers!<div><br></div><div>We have something rare on tap at Shareable. Chris Carlsson, a founder of Critical Mass and author of <i>Nowtopia</i>, interviewed the esteemed Marxist geographer David Harvey about his new book <i>Rebel Cities</i>:</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.shareable.net/blog/interviewed-david-harvey-on-rebel-cities">http://www.shareable.net/blog/interviewed-david-harvey-on-rebel-cities</a></div><div><br></div><div>Chris is a marvel on his own. He's a great match for Harvey as an interviewer. The interview has numerous counter-intuitive ideas about cities. It also contains constructive critiques of liberals, anarchists, and even commons advocates.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I pursued this hard to get interview because we've noticed that the interest in cities has dramatically escalated online. People are recognizing the importance of cities as crucibles of the future as urbanization accelerates. There's more and more media around it. And IBM, BMW and other the other corporations funding it are very deliberately shaping the public's vision about the cities. And of course, it's a technocentric free-market vision, not a commons-based one. We at Shareable want to counter this vision as much as we can. I hope you'll read, comment on, share the interview and otherwise help popularize a commons-based vision of cities.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you have any ideas about how to do that to a greater degree, please drop me a line. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your good works in the world, Neal</div><div><br></div><div><br>--<br><br>Neal Gorenflo | Publisher, <a href="http://shareable.net/" target="_blank">Shareable</a> | <a href="http://twitter.com/Shareable" target="_blank">@Shareable</a> | 415.867.0429<div>
