SUMMARY:Tragedy of the Market: From Crisis to Commons (Registration re
 quired)
DESCRIPTION:A crisis in capitalism is stalking the world. Greed, ecolo
 gical plunder, famine and displacement off the land increasingly mark 
 the battle lines between the rich and everyone else. Enforced homeless
 ness, social service cuts, and environmental disasters have become reg
 ular occurrences. But today we also see people in every corner of the 
 world rising up against these injustices. We are inspired by this “i
 ndignant” moment, but we want to understand what lies beyond our col
 lective “no!” to a future foreclosed by dispossession, debt and ec
 ocide.\nFighting for safe food and housing, decent health, clean air a
 nd undeveloped spaces in nature have long given common cause to commun
 ities around the world. The “commons” refers to relationships base
 d on shared resources, collective management, networks of mutual aid, 
 respect and dignity. But these commons have either been captured by th
 e market or are increasingly at risk of it. Taking back the commons me
 ans reclaiming community control over the parts of our lives that have
  been colonized by governments, markets, and corporations.\nCan we rec
 ognize, reclaim and create alternative social realities that the elite
  tell us cannot possibly exist? A gathering is being organized to help
  us answer this question. The gathering will cover the themes of land,
  food, water, health, education, media, decolonization, migration and 
 the history of the commons. Stay tuned for more details.\nCEOs are dre
 aming of owning everything on the planet. What are we dreaming of?\nJo
