This stimulating analysis from Hannes Gerhardt shows how technology-led and commons-oriented strategies can create fairer economies and societies. Setting out the role of various digital tools with concrete examples of their value, it is a constructive and optimistic guide to overcoming anti-capitalist barriers.
Helps the reader gain a bigger-picture understanding of the growing counter-capitalist discourse;
Offers concrete examples to offer valuable insights into the two-sided nature of technology and its role in fomenting political/economic change;
Showcases how the digital commons both relies on, and increasingly shapes, the material realm of raw materials, infrastructure, and manufacturing.

Hannes Gerhardt is Professor of Geography at the University of West Georgia.
