There's no denying that there are outstanding governance issues across remote Australia and while many of us are looking for solutions to increase stakeholder engagement, I suggest that we'd be better served looking to reinvent the box within which we're thinking. Hence my passionate interest in the work being pioneered by the School of Commoning. From this source, I've become aware of a new text: Civilizing the Economy.
In Civilizing the Economy, Marvin Brown traces the origin of this mistake to early capitalism aptly illustrated by Adam Smith's denial of the central role of slavery in wealth creation. In place of the Smithian property-based economics, Brown proposes a new framework for the global economy that reframes its purpose as the making of provisions instead of the accumulation of property. This bold new vision establishes the civic sphere as the platform for organizing an inclusive economy and a way to move toward a more just and sustainable world.
