SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"The commons - those creations of nature and society we inherit together and must preserve for our children - is under siege. Our current version of capitalism - the corporate, globalized version 2.0 - is rapidly squandering this shared heritage. Now, Peter Barnes offers a solution: protect the commons by giving it property rights and strong institutional managers."--Jacket.
