Ricoveri outlines the distinct features of common ownership as it has existed in history through cooperatives, sustainable use of natural resources and direct democracy. In doing so, she shows how it is possible to provide goods and services which are not commodities exchanged on the capitalistic market, something still demonstrated today in village communities across the global South. Tracing the erosion of the commons from the European enclosures at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution to the new enclosures of modern capitalism, the book concludes by arguing that a new commons is needed today. It will be essential reading for activists as well as students and academics in history, politics, economics and development studies.Sustainable developmentNatural resources, CommunalCommonsCapitalismPolitical SciencePublic PolicyEnvironmental PolicySustainable development.Natural resources, Communal.Commons.Capitalism.333.1Ricoveri Giovanna229614MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910433257603321Nature for sale2044158UNINA
