Tools for the Economic Transition (Chapter 2/5)

17 April 2020,
Chiang Mai (Thailand)

In this second chapter, Michel Bauwens explores how we might better account for the value of both natural and human capital, and how to move beyond the unsustainable economic cycles that shape our current systems.

This video is the second 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 examines questions of scale, governance, mediation, and how to build a more balanced and resilient long-term future.
