Summary "Free, Fair, and Alive is a penetrating cultural critique, table-pounding political treatise, and practical playbook for "commoning"--Free, self-organizing systems ranging from alternative currencies to open-source everything. It presents a bold and compelling alternative to the dead-end, predatory market-state system."-- Provided by publisher
