In this ambitious and compelling book, Oli Mould turns his diagnosis of capitalism's perversions towards defining the new set of ethics we need to succeed in organizing a more just society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, capitalism has been rocked to its foundations and 'the commons' as a means of providing for all people in our world has come crashing into the foreground. However, in order for the commons to be a viable alternative to the injustices of capitalism, it needs to be grown to a planetary scale. This is not an easy process, but if we can commit to act \u003ci\u003eethically\u003c\/i\u003e in the world, then suddenly anything is possible. Blending theoretical thinking and real-life examples of commoning in action, Mould guides the reader through a suite of ethical mindsets – mutualism, transmaterialism, minoritarianism, decodification, slowness, failure and love – which can stand firm against capitalism's seemingly inexorable ability to co-opt and subsume all before it. When thought of collectively, these ethics can offer tantalizing visions and practical approaches towards a world beyond capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ethic 1: Mutualism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ethic 2: Transmaterialism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ethic 3: Minoritarianism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ethic 4: Decodification\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ethic 5: Slowness\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ethic 6: Failure\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ethic 7: Love\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: The State of the Commons\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Geography [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Geography\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Geography%20%5BRG%5D%22\"\u003eRG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441808175384,"sku":"9781509545957","price":42.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509545957.jpg?v=1785026378","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/seven-ethics-against-capitalism-towards-a-planetary-commons-hardback-9781509545957","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
