    The commons, said Wolcher, citing Linebaugh, is not simply a conflict over property rights. It is about "people expressing a form of life to support their autonomy and subsistence needs." The commons is a verb - "commoning." It's about "taking one's life into one's own hands, and not waiting for crumbs to drop from the King's table."

    essay by Janet Hively To create a commons-based society, people need more than exposure to new ideas. They need tangible ways of practicing and living out these bright possibilities. Old habits about how we organize and pay for work maintain the sharp divisions between rich and poor and tie us to the consumer values of the market-based society. At this time when unemployment due to layoffs is growing, we should try out some new ways to share the work and spread the wealth.

    "While we can always argue about the terms that are used, what's more important is to identify the different motivations and abilities people have, and the differences coming from their different backgrounds and capabilities. How can we create a new collaborative economy that is equally beneficial for everyone, no matter where they come from?"
