The Commons: Reclaiming Our Humanity - with David Bollier - a podcast by Rivera Sun & Sherri Mitchell

This week on Love (and Revolution) Radio, David Bollier joins us to explore the role of the Commons in using ancient and new practices to break free of the outdated, unsustainable economic systems of our world. Speaking about natural systems, digital commons, urban commoning, and some looming challenges over the patenting of genomes, smell, and "flows of natural systems", our conversation dives into uncharted territories and thrilling new possibilities.
