Author, academic, and podcaster David Bollier! David works with the Schumacher Center for a New Economics and has studied and written extensively on commoning for the last two decades. For those who aren't familiar with that word, commoning is simply the act of managing shared resources like land or information.
We talk about how he came to study the commons as an alternative for change after being disillusioned with the political system, can't say it's gotten any better, starting from where you are, however small, and examples of commoning in our everyday life that we simply don't have words for, and often overlook.
You can find his writing, books, and podcast on his website.
