Interview by Mother Jones magazine: "Working Assets co-founder Peter Barnes has just published "Capitalism 3.0," which looks at how corporations exploit the "commons" -- the environment, the airwaves, and anything else that's not already private property. "They gobble up as much of what is not claimed as property and try to convert it into something that they own and can charge for use. The commons is shrinking because of this constant appropriation by corporations."

He presents an original framework for the future that retains society’s common heritage and unique cultural character by creating a “we” sector to counterbalance the current, corrosive “me” sector."
