The power of the commons as a free, fair system of provisioning and governance beyond capitalism, socialism, and other -isms. 
 From co-housing and agroecology to fisheries and open-source everything, people around the world are increasingly turning to 'commoning' to emancipate themselves from a predatory market-state system. 
 Free, Fair, and Alive presents a foundational re-thinking of the commons ― the self-organized social system that humans have used for millennia to meet their needs. It offers a compelling vision of a future beyond the dead-end binary of capitalism versus socialism that has almost brought the world to its knees. 
 Written by two leading commons activists of our time, this guide is a penetrating cultural critique, table-pounding political treatise, and practical playbook. Highly readable and full of colorful stories, coverage includes: 
<ul>
<li> Internal dynamics of commoning </li>
<li> How the commons worldview opens up new possibilities for change </li>
<li> Role of language in reorienting our perceptions and political strategies </li>
<li> Seeing the potential of commoning everywhere. </li>
</ul>
 Free, Fair, and Alive provides a fresh, non-academic synthesis of contemporary commons written for a popular, activist-minded audience. It presents a compelling narrative: that we can be free and creative people, govern ourselves through fair and accountable institutions, and experience the aliveness of authentic human presence.
