Capitalism has become so dominant that it is difficult to ever
imagine a world in which its injustices and inequalities are not
violently present. 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. In 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 ethically 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.
