- Tamara Helenius discusses how markets and states are failing society and how collaborative economics and the commons can provide alternatives. - The commons refers to shared resources governed by a community through agreed upon rules. - Collaborative economics uses methodologies like education, community proposals and voting, and implementing winning proposals to manage shared resources sustainably. - Research collaborations are informing new frameworks and tools to support commons-based projects through various deployment phases.

2. Markets are failing us.

3. The law locks up the man and woman
who steals the goose from off the common.
But lets the greater villain loose
who steals the common from the goose.
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back.

4. States are failing us.

7. In 2009, Ostrom received the
Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences
for her groundbreaking research
demonstrating that ordinary
people are capable of creating
rules and institutions that allow
for the sustainable and equitable
management of shared resources.
