Produktbeschreibung

We are living in times of global capitalist crisis. As a consequence, revolutions in the Arab world, the Occupy movement and other forms of rebellion have emerged. This volume addresses the question of how to critically make sense of a world in crisis, and how we can create Internet- and social media-commons and a commons-based participatory information society.
