The question of ownership is the critical fault line of our times.
During the pandemic this issue has only become more divisive. Since
March 2020 we have witnessed the extraordinary growth of asset
manager capitalism and the explosive concentration of wealth within
the hands of the already super-rich. This new oligarchy controls
every part of our social and economics lives. In the face of
crisis, the authors warn that mere redistribution within current
forms of ownership is not enough; our goal must be to go beyond the
limits of the current system, dominated by private enclosure and
unequal ownership. Only by reimagining how our economy is owned and
by whom can we address the crises of our time - from the fallout of
the pandemic to ecological collapse - at their roots. Building from
this insight, the authors argue the systemic change we need hinges
on a new era of democratic ownership: a reinvention of the firm as
a vehicle for collective endeavour and meeting social needs.
Against the new oligarchy of the platform giants, a digital commons
that uses our data for collective good, not private profit. In
place of environmental devastation, a new agenda of
decommodification - of both nature and needs - with a Green New
Deal and collective stewardship of the planet's natural wealth.
Together, these proposals offer a road map to owning the future,
and building a better world.
