Dear friends,
Hazel Henderson, author of this still very current book about the global
commons, taxation and public goods, is giving away some free copies,
please let her know if you're interested in receiving a copy,
Hazel, in cc are 3 different mailing lists for commons advocates,
michel
Building A Win Win World ( Berrett-Koehler, 1996) was all about
> defending the global commons and raising fees and taxes ( e.g. on financial
> transactions ) to fund global public goods. It is now an e-book from
> Berrett-Koehler and they have offered me the original hardcover books at
> $1 each ! If you have some ideas about how I can donate these books
> to groups working on the global commons , let me know. Of course, I'd be
> happy to donate them to P2P.

> The Commons has the potential to replace the commodity as the determining
> form of re-/producing societal living conditions. Such a replacement can
> only occur, if communities constitute themselves for every aspect of life,
> in order to take „their“ commons back and to reintegrate them into a new
> need-focused logic of re-/production.
>
> Stefan Meretz has produced<http://www.keimform.de/2010/01/11/commons-in-a-taxonomy-of-goods/>,
> with his daughter, a very useful and clear taxonomy of common goods,
> according to five criteria. Pauline Schwarze and Franco Iacomella provided
> translation support, from the original German to English.
>
> [image: taxonomy-of-goods]
>
> *Stefan Meretz:*
>
> *“The word „common“ is the best starting point for the analysis. The
> common thing within a commons are the resources, which are used and cared
> for, are the goods resulting from joint activities, and are the social
> relationships emerging from acting together. These three aspects are so
> different for all commons, that no one could describe them in a reasonably
> complete manner.*
>
> *I decide to put the concept of „good“ into the center, while describing
> from the triple definition explained above: as a common good, as a resource
> and as a social form.*
>
> *In the adjoining illustration a good is designated by five dimensions.
> Beside the already mentioned dimensions resource and social form, there are
> constitution, usage and legal form. *
>
> *1. Constitution*
>
> *The constitution describes the type materiality of a good. We can found
> two types: material and non-material goods.*
>
> *Material goods** have a physical shape, they can be used up or crushed
> out. Purpose and physical constitution are linked with each other, material
> goods perform their purpose only by their physical constitution. If the
> physical constitution gets dismantled the purpose also gets lost.*
>
> *On the other hand non-material goods are completely decoupled from a
> specific physical shape. This contains services defined by a coincidence of
> production and consumption as well as preservable non-material goods. In
> fact, a service often leads to a material result (haircut, draft text etc.),
> but the service itself finishes by establishing the product, i.e. it has
> been consumed. Now the result is falling into a material good category.*
>
> *Preservable non-material goods need a physical carrier. Having
> non-digital („analog“) goods the bonding of the good to a specific material
> constitution of the carrier can yet be tight (e.g. the analog piece of music
> on the audiotape or disk record), while digital goods are largely
> independent from the carrier medium (e.g. the digital piece of music on an
> arbitrary digital medium).*
>
> *2. Usage*
>
> *The usage has got two sub-dimensions: excludability and rivalry. They
> grasp aspects of access and concurrent utilization.*
>
> *A good can only be used exclusively, if the access to the good is
> generally prevented and selectively allowed (e.g. if a „bagel“ is bought).
> It can be used inclusively, thus non-exclusively, if the access is possible
> for all people (e.g. Wikipedia). The usage of a good is rival or rivalrous,
> if using the good by one person restricts or prevents use options for other
> people (e.g. listening to music by earphones). A usage is non-rival, if this
> does not result in limitations for others (e.g. a physical formula).*
>
> *The usage scheme is used by classical economists as the authoritative
> charateristic for goods. But it is far too narrow-minded. It combines two
> aspects which in fact occur together with usage while the causes are
> completely different. The exclusion is a result of an explicit activity of
> excluding people, thus closely linked with the social form. On the other
> hand, the rivalry is closely linked with the constitution of the
> good—indeed, an apple can only be eaten once, for the next consumption a new
> apple is needed.*
>
> *3. Resources*
>
> *The production of goods requires resources. Though sometimes nothing is
> produced, already existing resources are used and maintained. In this case
> the resource itself is the good, which is considered to be preserved—for
> instance a lake. We can usually find some mixed case , because no produced
> good can go without the resource of knowledge which has been created and
> disposed by others. By resources, we generally understand non humans sources
> .*
>
> *In the illustration, natural and produced resources are distinguished.
> Natural resources are already existing and raw resources which, however, are
> seldom found in uninfluenced environments. Produced resources are material
> or non-material created preconditions for further use in the production of
> goods or resources in the broadest sense.*
>
> *4. Social form*
>
> *The social form describes the way of (re-)production and the relations
> that humans commit to each other when doing so. Three social forms of
> (re-)production have to be distinguished: commodity, subsistence, and
> commons.*
>
> *A good becomes a commodity, if it is produced in a general way for the
> exchange (selling) on markets. Exchanging has to occur because, in
> capitalism, production is a private activity and each producer produce
> separated from the others and all are ruled by competition and profit
> searching. The measure of exchange is the value, which is the average
> socially necessary abstract labor being required to produce the commodity in
> certain historical moment. The medium of exchange is money. The measure of
> usage is the use value being the „other side“ of the (exchange) value. Thus,
> a commodity is a social form, it is the indirect exchange-mediated way of
> how goods obtain general societal validity. Preconditions are scarcity and
> exclusion from the access of the commodity, because otherwise exchange will
> not happen.*
>
> *A good maintains the form of subsistence, if it is not produced in a
> general way for others, but only for personal use or benefit of personally
> known others (family, friends etc.). Here, exchange does not occur or only
> for exceptional cases, but the good is relayed, taken, and given—following
> any immediately agreed social rule. A transition form to commodity is
> barter, the direct non-money mediated exchange of goods.*
>
> *A good becomes a commons, if it is generally produced or maintained for
> others. The good is not exchanged and the usage is generally bound to fixed
> socially agreed rules. It is produced or maintained for general others
> insofar as it neither has be personal-determined others (like with
> subsistence) nor exclusively abstract others with no further relationship to
> them (like with commodity), but concrete communities agreeing on rules of
> usage and
> maintenance of the commons.*
>
> *5. Legal form*
>
> *The legal form shows the possible juridical codes which a good can be
> subjected to: private property, collective property, and free good. Legal
> arrangements are necessary under the conditions of societal mediation of
> partial interests, they form a regulating framework of social interaction.
> As soon as general interests are part of the way of (re-)production itself,
> legal forms can step back in favor of concrete socially agreed rules as it
> is the case within the commons.*
>
> *Private property** is a legal form, which defines the act of disposal of
> an owner over a thing with exclusive control over the property. The property
> abstracts from the constitution of the thing as well as from the concrete
> possession. Private property can be merchandise, can be sold or
> commercialized.*
>
> *Collective property** is collectively owned private property or private
> property for collective purposes. Among them, there are common property and
> public (state) property. All designations of private property are basically
> valid here. There are various forms of collective property, for instance
> stock corporation, house owner community, nationally-owned enterprise.*
>
> *Free goods** (also: Res nullius, Terra nullius or no man’s land) are
> legally or socially unregulated goods under free access. The often cited
> „Tragedy of Commons“ is a tragedy of no man’s land, which is overly used or
> destroyed due to missing rules of usage. Such no man’s lands do exist yet
> today, e.g. in high-sea or deep-sea.”*
