The Evolver Social Movement just released a free e-book anthology that brings together a variety of perspectives on Occupy, offering a
multi-dimensional approach to the ongoing insurrection. At a time when the initial energy around Occupy has flagged in some areas, we believe this anthology is a powerful tool as it explores not just the politics but also the subtler dimensions of the movement, which is more about process than protest.…

"Just got this message from from Helene Finidori, a new colleague in SoC. Please share it your circles.
Hello Commoners!
Here is a recommendation on the commons that I submitted on behalf of the Commons Action at the UN that could be presented for adoption to governments at the Rio Summit (or rather to put the commons on the radar). I have been advised by one of the panel members (who likes the commons as an overarching action concept)…

On May 3, Jonathan Clyne, Lena Hanno, Alex Dirmeier and Jean Lievens had a discussion with Michel Bauwens on peer-to-peer and Marxism. The discussion took place in the lobby of the Palace Hotel in Berlin. Here’s a slightly edited transcript of the discussion.
