Her theorising of the commons has been celebrated as groundbreaking and opening the way for non-capitalist economic alternatives, yet, many radicals know little about her. This book redresses this, revealing the indispensability of her work for green politics, left economics and radical democracy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOstrom has often been viewed as a conservative or managerial thinker; but Derek Wall's analysis of her work reveals a how it is invaluable for developing a left political programme in the twenty-first century. Central to Ostrom's work was the move 'beyond panaceas'; transforming institutions to widen participation, promote diversity and favour cooperation over competition. She regularly challenged academia as individualist, narrow and elitist and promoted a radical take on education, based on participation. Her investigations into how we share finite resources has radical implications for the Green movement and her rubric for a functioning collective ownership is highly relevant in order in achieving radical social change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs activists continue to reject traditional models of centralised power, Ostrom's work will become even more vital, offering a guide to creating economics that exists beyond markets and states.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Derek Wall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42839120478269,"sku":"9780745399355","price":35.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780745399355_d707074c-b6e1-4f1e-9b6c-4f2155cb066f.jpg?v=1766954628","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/elinor-ostroms-rules-for-radicals","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
