I 01. Intro Binna Choi - WTM Forum I: Commoning Economy, Sun 17 Jan 2016

As part of the We Are the Time Machines: Time and Tools for Commoning Study Program, we are proud to present the Commoning Forum Series. This series consists of four full afternoon programs dealing with four major sites for commoning: economy, art organization, governance, and aesthetics. We hope you join us on these occasions to study, struggle, and plan together! Even if we are living in a society where capitalism seems to dominate, another form of economy of community well-being and non-monetary interaction is already being practiced: “community economy.” Coupled with the proposal to replace the current waged-based society with “universal basic income,” this forum delves into these two alternative and more equal models of economic organization. Forum I, Commoning Economy, Sun 17 Jan 2016 with economic geographer Katherine Gibson, researcher Martijn Jeroen van der Linden, philosopher Philippe Van Parijs, and research collective (Un)usual Business
