Tony Smith's curator insight, August 16, 2015 7:34 AM

Ordered Graeber's latest book as one more likely candidate for much needed list of references which save having to write too much from scratch. Appears to fit the spirit of Charles C Scott's Seeing Like a State and the Occupy Movement, both powerful illustrations of social emergence.

Bologna, a Laboratory for Urban Commoning | David Bollier | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Anarchist anthropologist David Graeber argues in his recent book, The Utopia of Rules, that bureaucracy is the standard mechanism in contemporary life for coercing people to comply with the top-down priorities of institutions, especially corporations and government.  Anyone concerned with the commons, therefore, must eventually address the realities of bureaucratic power and the feasible alternatives. Is there a more human, participatory alternative that can actually work?
