What rights for sharing common goods?
€ 3.00What are the rights for sharing common goods? What profound transformations must take place in the dominant mindset of contemporary societies in order to reach a solution that is coherent with the ecological and social needs of today’s world? Far from being an abstract theory, a generative right for sharing and common goods can only derive from concrete battles: for water, public universities and schools, and critical information; and against internet privatisation and the destruction and consumption of the territory. Common goods must not be seen as something to have, but a political and, above all, cultural practice that allows us to create a horizon of collective existence.
