Common goods nest within larger communities across nested scales

Evidence

The common good of the firm must be “consistent with the common good of society” (Mele 2009, p. 235). At the same time, “the common good of any community is embedded in the common good of larger communities” (Mele 2009, p. 235). Mele (2009, p. 236) proposes four different conditions to achieve the common good of society and economy: (1) the economic condition, favoring human wellbeing; (2) the environmental condition, favoring the natural environment’s long-term wellbeing; (3) the organizational condition, favoring access to and satisfying basic social needs and values, health, education, freedom, justice and solidarity; and (4) the human condition, based on the respect for human dignity and human rights as core values shared by the commons enterprises. — Laura Albareda and Alejo Jose G.
