Reviews

Noam M. Elcott, author of Artificial Darkness: An Obscure History of Modern Art and Media:
How can art and architecture help create a society of greater mutualism and care? This book not only inspires and challenges readers to create worlds of greater mutualism, it also provides multiple blueprints, metaphoric and real, for how art and architecture can enhance communal self-determination, wealth, and well-being.

Koray Caliskan, author of Market Threads: How Cotton Farmers and Traders Create a Global Commodity:
We see the emergence of collectives everywhere; from Black Lives Matter to the platform cooperativism movement, we are observing a proliferation of new kinds of social ties building. This book is among the first to bring together these scattered practices in a single frame. It also presents practical guidelines for action and design across disciplines and sectors, providing the readers with a list and discussion of resources that can be used to pursue communitarian or collective interests.
