The concept of [[Community]] is broader than the Community here in Community Economics. See also our page on [[Communes]].
 
Community Economics will probably include some kind of [[Commons]] as well.
Note that we have a broader page about [[:Category: Community]] as a general concept, while this section is more narrowly focused on the economic life of intentional communities. It is mostly indebted to the extraordinary work of the researcher [[Allen Butcher]].
Looked at in one way, any [[Commons]] defines a community that shares and governs that commons,
 
but if that commons is only covers a minority of life concerns then the community may not be intentional,  
The communities covered here, could be considered as communities that manage 'closed' shared resources, i.e. commons that belong to the community itself, or the institution that represents it.
or may not be like a commune.  
 
Thus the [[:Category: Commons Economics]] is broader than this one.
The [[:Category: Commons Economics]] covers the economics of whole societies and how they manage and regulate the commons within it, as well as considering the society as a whole as a commons.

This category is mainly about the economics of living in intentional community. It touches on monastic life as well as modern intentional communities.

Key Concepts of This Category

Note that we have a broader page about Category: Community as a general concept, while this section is more narrowly focused on the economic life of intentional communities. It is mostly indebted to the extraordinary work of the researcher Allen Butcher.

The communities covered here, could be considered as communities that manage 'closed' shared resources, i.e. commons that belong to the community itself, or the institution that represents it.

The Category: Commons Economics covers the economics of whole societies and how they manage and regulate the commons within it, as well as considering the society as a whole as a commons.
