understanding how online communities function is a particularly vexing challenge for example is a wiki best understood as a volunteer club and nonprofit organization or does it more closely resemble a business that organizes the wisdom of crowd or tames the unruliness of a mob it becomes even more complicated when you consider that wikis have porous boundaries enabling people to become either formal members or casual lurkers people trying to grasp how collaborative spaces work often turn to the literature of the commons it has a lot to say about the dynamics of collective action and sharing wealth after all but does the stewardship of land or water really resemble the stewardship of online information by quasi strangers scattered around the world professor benjamin mako hill these are the sorts of conceptual challenges that tug at benjamin mako hill a computer science professor at the university of washington and scholar of digital collaboration mako as he s usually called brings special talents to this inquiry he s not just a scientist and scholar but a committed free software activist and hacker who has made significant contributors to the debian and ubuntu projects two versions of the gnu linux computer operating system he advises the wikipedia project and has received a prestigious us national science foundation grant to study the governance and lifecycles of knowledge commons i was curious to learn more about the social life and governance of digital commons so i invited hill to join me on my podcast frontiers of commoning episode 73 mako told me how digital communities go through different developmental stages which affects their strategic choices as commoners he also described how fledgling commons must often struggle to gain public credibility and new contributors but later they must develop ways to protect against hostile forces seeking to monetize or control their collective wealth code curated information webs of relationships when he first began to study digital commons hill wondered why some of them become really big and successful such as wikipedia while the vast majority of them don t he soon realized that most collaborative websites start out with a very basic challenge how do we attract people internet open source software wikis wikipedia social media enclosure read more about benjamin mako hill on

consumption exponentially on a finite planet it s biophysically impossible the carbon emissions are already producing more volatile weather patterns more frequent floods droughts and wildfires and disruptions of agriculture commerce and global supply chains and yet the us government and respectable opinion remain in zones of denial or deflection the trump administration is savaging climate science environmental regulation and international treaties while saner responsible adults are at least focused on energy efficiency and renewables but few people dare to name let alone tackle the real driver of climate collapse the capitalist economy s demand for relentless economic growth professor federico savini university of amsterdam to take stock of this quandary i decided to have a long talk with a leading degrowth scholar and activist federico savini an associate professor in environmental planning at the university of amsterdam savini has spent a lot of time thinking about how to bring market activity into ecologically sustainable limits an agenda often known as degrowth as a co editor of the book post growth planning cities beyond the market economy savini has suggested how cities agriculture energy and transit need to change and how affordable housing better land stewardship and infrastructures for social care and eco resilience could help reduce climate impacts i recently interviewed savini for my podcast frontiers of commoning episode 72 to get a keener sense of the state of the degrowth movement today what are the strategies it s calling for the hotspots of degrowth advocacy and the challenges the movement is facing in the us of course degrowth is a rarely heard term in hyper individualist consumerist american culture the world citadel of modern capitalism few people want to hear brutally honest accounts of what needs to be done curb the drivers of growth respect ecological limits at the expense of profits foster social equality by curbing the power of oligarchs and corporations change who makes key investment decisions in most cases the answer is no degrowth economics ecology climate change amsterdam read more about federico savini on

promoted development as a high minded mission to bring capitalist markets and growth to impoverished areas of the world but what if development were seen not just as a matter of creating markets but of strengthening social collaboration and sharing in meeting needs in short what if development agencies were to support commoning one major national development agency the french development agency or afd is actively experimenting with this very challenge for the past five years stéphanie leyronas an afd research fellow specializing in the commons has been working with an internal expert network at the agency to investigate how it might support commoners in the global south the goal is to improve commons based stewardship of land access to water and energy urban spaces digital platforms and the so called collaborative economy stéphanie leyronas of agence française de developpement afd to learn more i spoke with leyronas for my latest episode of frontiers of commoning episode 71 it was refreshing to hear how afd has been attempting to create a modest laboratory of the commons in the process the small afd team has come to understand that the commons requires a shift of mindset and development strategies as leyronas put it in our interview donor action is really guided by project logic goals are predefined and indicators of success are fixed we usually have evaluations in advance or at the end but commons evolve very differently they follow long term open ended processes with deliberation and adaptation in a recent talk to the un food and agriculture organization fao leyronas explained how supporting the commons requires that development programs engage with the relational logics of a community it has to focus on how people relate to each other learn to cooperate and care for natural systems there must be time and space for commoners to experiment to develop a collective solidarity and stewardship of shared wealth to collectively learn and to integrate

most formative books that i encountered at age 23 was lewis hyde s t he gift imagination and the erotic life of property i first read an excerpt in the whole earth review the countercultural quarterly edited by stewart brand and shortly thereafter the book i was thunderstruck by the invisible social relationships wrought by gifts and their karmic ramifications all of which hyde brought vividly into view drawing on anthropologist marcel mauss famous 1923 book on gift exchange hyde took the idea much further showing how gift exchange is a ubiquitous social phenomenon for forging and maintaining reciprocal relationships as hyde shows gift economies of reciprocity are particularly important to artists and creative communities in their functioning as commons in their artistry musicians and performers must learn to see their creative talents as gifts something they must share without expectation or guarantee of return but invariably important benefits materialize inspiration creative mastery a sense of belonging that manifests as if by grace lewis hyde photo credit anna schuleit haber these ideas had obvious value when i began exploring the commons in the late 1990s hyde cites many examples in all sorts of unexpected realms of how gift exchange animates a gentle reciprocity and mutual benefits blood banks and organ donation systems indigenous culture and countless artistic contexts the generativity of gift exchange has an almost mysterious aura and spiritual dimensions as ratified numerous fairy tales affirm after being so influenced by the gift in my younger day i recently asked hyde to join me for a conversation on my podcast frontiers of commoning episode 70 i wanted to see how his and my perspectives of gift economies and commons may have evolved over the years and what topics may be in his field of vision today one is ai we also spoke about his classic 2010 book common as air revolution art and ownership which explores how creativity and culture have always functioned as commons the us founding fathers recognized the importance of freely available knowledge and creative works in the late 1700s for example hyde spent an entire chapter in the book describing how benjamin franklin otherwise celebrated as a commercially minded individualist and entrepreneur is more accurately called a founding pirate for insisting that the free flow of ideas and inventions should override expansive patents and copyrights creativity copyright gift economies history read more about lewis hyde on gift economies and cultural commons log in or register to post

bollier and natasha hulst the full essay can be downloaded as a pdf here and at natasha hulst s substack previous sections appeared in sequence immediately before this one at these links section 1 introduction reframing the economy around bioregioning 2 commons as relational provisioning and governance 3 toward a new theory of value and meaning living systems as generative and 4 toward socio ecological markets 5 relationalized finance bridging the chasm as should be clear by now the core puzzle that relationalized finance seeks to mitigate or resolve is actually an ontological and cosmological clash that takes place in everyday circumstances it s a struggle between different notions of value and meaning it s the glimmer of a worldview that steps away from many premises of liberal capitalist modernity does humanity consist chiefly of rational self interested individuals seeking material gain through market exchange and exploiting nature as a dwindling resource that stands separate and apart from humans this is the cosmology of contemporary finance or does humanity consist of interdependent cooperative individuals nested within collectives which themselves are nested in complicated ways within an animate earth of countless living beings engaged in a symbiotic evolutionary dance we need a finance in sync with this world without some adaptation of conventional finance and its implicit cosmology capitalist finance will continue to inflict harm on nature and communities it will continue to financialize life systems as assets and in so doing superimpose an alien matrix of value and extractive production on them so a key goal here is to help commoners secure much greater equity and control over their shared wealth and to help them avoid becoming beholden to distant investors lenders and state authorities with their own empire building priorities read more about relationalized finance bridging the chasm log in or register to post
