DESCRIPTION:For our September, 2025 meeting we will be reading Elinor Ostrom's Rules 
 for Radicals: Cooperative Alternatives Beyond Markets and States. (Amazon) 
 (Pluto).\n\n\nElinor Ostrom was both a groundbreaking thinker and one of 
 the foremost economists of our age. The first and only woman to win the 
 Nobel Prize for Economics, her revolutionary theorizing of the commons 
 opened the way for non-capitalist economic alternatives on a massive scale. 
 And yet, astonishingly, most modern radicals know little about 
 her.\n \nElinor Ostrom's Rules for Radicals fixes that injustice, 
 revealing the indispensability of her work on green politics, alternative 
 economics, and radical democracy. Derek Wall’s analysis of her theses 
 addresses some of the common misconceptions of her work and reveals her 
 strong commitment to a radical ideological framework. This helpful guide 
 will engage scholars and activists across a range of disciplines, including 
 political economy, political science, and ecology, as well as those keen to 
 implement her work in practice. As activists continue to reject traditional 
 models of centralized power, Ostrom’s theories will become even more 
 crucial in creating economies that exist beyond markets and states.\nStrike

 and radical economic thinking. Previous readings have included (in 
 chronological order) Doughnut Economics, Limits, Banking on the
