    Finding Balance (Chapter 5/5)

    17 April 2020,
    Chiang Mai (Thailand)

    In this fifth and final chapter, Michel Bauwens reflects on the role of mediation and argues for the importance of maintaining pluralistic platforms for curation and knowledge sharing. He calls for new forms of legitimacy capable of supporting more open, collaborative, and democratic societies.

    This video is the fifth and final 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.
