* Jacques Godbout
 
"Internet a généré au fil du temps une véritable "culture de la contribution" qui rend obsolète toute réflexion sociologico-économique qui ne prendrait en compte que les seules valeur d’usage et valeur d’échange pour saisir comment est créée la valeur économique dans le mode numérique. En ce sens, la "valeur de lien" suggérée par Jacques T. Godbout (Ce qui circule entre nous, Seuil, 2007) est intéressante pour cerner ce phénomène de la contribution cognitive en ligne (exemple: j’évalue / je commente un resto, un livre, un bien de consommation, etc. et je diffuse cette information via des plateformes internet). Les "collectifs en ligne" (appelés aussi – mais abusivement – "communautés virtuelles") sont en quelque sorte un nouveau support social permettant de générer cette "valeur de lien"."

This is a cleaner version, for more names see the Commons-Oriented Economists Draft Version

Introduction

In October/November 2010, the Commons Strategies Group, consisting of David Bollier, Silke Helfrich, Bea Busaniche and myself (Michel Bauwens, under the auspices and with support of the Heinrich Boll Foundation, organized the Berlin Commons Conference, which brought together representatives of physical and digital commons under the shared topic of 'commons-oriented policy-making'.

For 2013, CSG is proposing to organize a follow-up conference, this time on commons-oriented economists.

Below is some preparatory material.

A useful warning from Marco Berlinguer:

"a commons approach to economy implies a redefinition of what is economy, what is value and a radical re-discussion about the measures (and the structures of power) which are embedded in the capitalistic money codes. And therefore economists as such aren't sufficient to cover all the implications."

For more about the CSG proposal, see: Proposal for a Conference on Commons-Oriented Economics

Introduction and Themes

  • macro-economic conceptions: how does a commons orientation fits in today's economic approaches
  • economy of the physical commons: what can we learn about the governance and economics of local physical commons
  • the economy of digital common: what can we learn from the economics governing digital commons
  • money and funding as a commons: from local credit commons to transnational monetary reform
  • solving the biospheric crisis: preserving and protecting the natural commons
