BEYOND G-8 -- A new commons?

The front page of the London Independent states that 291 million
people in Africa live on less than one dollar a day, but in the G8
countries no-one is forced to survive on such a sum. This figure hides
the fact that communities outside of the post-inhdustrial west
continue to have access to community resources, shared commons, that
provide a means to survive, a shared wealth which we in the west are
denied, whilst at the same time the robbery and privatization of the
world´s resources by those board rooms and their allies in government
is enacted.

On the eve of the G8 summit with its focus on the market as a means of
satifying people´s needs, activists from Midnight Notes, the Commoner
and Canadian Postal Workers Union will talk about a future based on
different values, which prioritise human life over profit: the
Commons.
