In this fourth chapter, Michel Bauwens introduces the concept of cosmolocalism and emphasizes the need for regeneration at the local level. Using the Middle Ages as an example of a period of profound renewal, he illustrates how moments of crisis can give rise to new forms of social and economic organization.
This video is the fourth chapter in a five-part conversation with Michel Bauwens—a Belgian theorist and activist known for his work on the commons, peer production, governance, and collaborative ownership. Describing the Covid-19 crisis as both a "great revealer" and a "great accelerator," Bauwens reflects on an economy that serves the commons through shared resources and collective contributions. The discussion also addresses questions of scale, governance, mediation, and how to build a more balanced and resilient long-term future.
