Sommario/riassunto

Elinor Ostrom was both a groundbreaking thinker and one of the foremost economists of our age. The first and only woman to win the Nobel Prize for Economics, her revolutionary theorizing of the commons opened the way for non-capitalist economic alternatives on a massive scale. And yet, astonishingly, most modern radicals know little



about her. This book fixes that injustice, revealing the indispensability of her work on green politics, alternative economics, and radical democracy.--Publisher's description.
