Commons organizing generates tensions with markets, regulations, and economic sustainability.

Evidence

At the core of commons organizing, we have studied different tensions, some of them emerging between moral virtues and human collective interest and how both influence the development of communities of people who work in common for the common good. These tensions arise between the development of communities that work in common dealing with democratic participatory governance. Other tensions emerge due to conflicting logics between commons community production and traditional markets, between commons production and market regulations and between common ownership and economic sustainability. These tensions emerge from the rights of communities to self-organize and sustain their common resources in the markets (Ostrom 1990). — Laura Albareda and Alejo Jose G.
