It is especially helpful in putting Russia's attack in the context of class-composition of Russian society - covering not only the class composition of Putin's regime, but also that of the opposition.

In this short Video Silke Helfrich discusses the basics of commons. It’s an introduction into the essence of commons from a perspective stemming from outside the economic discipline that focuses on social practice. Her perception challenges the economic mainstream’s perception of common goods and goes beyond a purely materialistic conceptualisation of commons.

She discusses what can be called wealth generating, what kind of wealth we need and points out a lack of a value theory.
