Book of the day: Total Urban Mobilisation and the Post-Capitalist City
Michel Bauwens: In the p2p/commons literature of a few years ago, we introduced a way of thinking about the world that challenges the ‘accumulation of capital’ with the ‘accumulation of the common’. There is a tendency to think of this as accumulating simply capital resources of another kind, i.e. for investing (‘transvestment’) in commons-based shared resources. But remember, commons is also always commoning, i.e. it is based on human agency, i.e. an accumulation of commoning. All commons are really social commons, or they are no commons at all.
