I had missed this new essay by Christian Siefkes (in The Commoner): as he has a very clear writing style, many insights, he is always worth reading:

“Are new commons-based communities just a fad, or are they indicators of a serious new trend? Will there, maybe, even be an economic paradigm shift—will future production increasingly take place around a jointly organized and jointly managed commons, rather than around the exchange of private property on the market? I believe that we can indeed expect such a paradigm shift.”
