Description

Mayo Fuster Morell:

""The Commons Collaborative Economy refers to collaborative consumption, production, sharing, and exchange among distributed groups of peers – supported by a digital platform – in conditions that empower them and society as a whole. The concept is in direct contrast to extractionist and explorative modalities, represented by companies like Uber and Airbnb.

The commons collaborative economy results from the encounter of four trajectories of socio-economic innovation and democratization:

  • the social and solidarity

economy, including the cooperative tradition;

  • the open knowledge of the commons;
  • the environmental sustainability of the circular economy;
  • and the gender perspectives of the feminist economy.

Its enterprises support fair, sustainable, inclusive, and distributed patterns. Its business, governance models, and philosophy place the citizens in the central role as producers and decision makers in the economy, and ensure that economic growth is connected to the needs of society."
