Murray makes a convincing case that we have now entered the epoch of ‘post-post-Fordism’: the era of platforms. The discussion is framed with reference to Deleuze’s ‘control societies’ hypothesis, which is the subject of the themed journal issue in which the interview appears."
Murray Bookchin, in Post-Scarcity Anarchism, described the concept: The new technology has produced not only miniaturized electronic components and smaller production facilities but also highly versatile, multi-purpose machines.
She is part of an increasingly prominent movement of black intellectuals who are pushing back against what they consider an extreme approach to race relations that has been promulgated in the media, academia, popular social movements, and activist subcultures.

Charlotte Hess: "The knowledge commons is a vast and complex sector. Most aspects concerndigital information. In many cases knowledge became a commons when it becamedigital. It has unique characteristics as a commons. For the most part, it is a renewableresource. Information has often been cited as a primary example of a pure public good—nonrival a...
Natalie Pang: "Three salient characteristics of the knowledge commons can be highlighted: 1. resources that are shared and freely available, 2. the generation and use of co-created knowledge, and 3. spaces or facilities that allow for both personal and public discussions.

Natalie Pangon the Manifestations of the knowledge commons: "The knowledge commons are constantly changing and mutating. Existing examplesare in a constant state of evolution, and new examples continually appear. It is thusnot possible to describe all the areas where the concept of the knowledge commonshas been manifested. However a selection of key categories of the knowledgecommons would need to include the following.
Authorative vs. Allocative Knowledge Commons Resources
Natalie Pang: It may be discerned there are two types of resources within the knowledge commons. A commons exists because ‘common knowledge’ of a community recognises itsexistence, and some level of rules – however informal and fragmentary – are impliedby this recognition. The rules may be as minimal as an understanding of what fallswithin or outside the physical or virtual boundary of the commons. Giddens (1984, p. 33) calls such rules ‘resources’, and sees a distinction between‘authoritativ...
Why Knowledge Networks are the new Commons
Esko Kilpi: "According to simplistic management thinking stimulus and response processes control human behavior: you get what you measure; you get what you reward. This means that people are understood as having no real connection to what they are actually doing. A somewhat more modern way of thinking states that human beings actively create meaning in life through attempts to understand their own experiences. Intrinsic motivation – peoples’ relation to what they do, the meaning of work – rep...
Herman Daly on the Commonwealth of Knowledge
Herman Daly: "If you stand in front of the McKeldin Library at the University of Maryland, you’ll see a quotation from Thomas Jefferson carved on one of the stones: “Knowledge is the common property of mankind.” Well, I think Mr. Jefferson was right. Once knowledge exists, it is non-rival, which means it has a zero opportunity cost. As we know from studying price theory, price is supposed to measure opportunity cost, and if opportunity cost is zero, then price should be zero. Certainly, new k...
Paul B. Hartzog on Openness in the Knowledge Commons
"Human knowledge is stored in the distributed network of individual human minds, and a repository of human knowledge needs to be stored in a distributed fashion as well, a "knowledge commons," if you will. What would the Knowledge Commons look like? Fairly simple, as it turns out. Imagine a peer-to-peer network in which everyone could contribute pieces of knowledge, and those pieces would be immediately spliced into bits and replicated throughout the system. Like SETI@home and other distribut...
P2P urbanism is "open source urbanism", by the people, for the people." [1] "Urbanism as a shared, bottom-up process is in historical evidence since the beginning of civilization. It follows natural patterns belonging to the intrinsic logic of space.
"Libertarian municipalism is a political program developed by libertarian socialist theorist Murray Bookchin, to create democratic citizens' assemblies in towns and urban neighborhoods. The assemblies in these free municipalities join together to replace the state
