This book reveals the potential for radical transformation contained in a conceptualisation of the commons as a set of social systems, rather than just common goods.

---

In this weaving of radical political economy, Omnia Sunt Communia sets out the steps to postcapitalism. By conceptualising the commons not just as common goods but as a set of social systems, Massimo De Angelis shows their pervasive presence in everyday life, mapping out a strategy for total social transformation.

From the micro to the macro, De Angelis unveils the commons as fields of power relations - shared space, objects, subjects - that explode the limits of daily life under capitalism. He exposes attempts to co-opt the commons, through the use of code words such as ´participation´ and ´governance´, and reveals the potential for radical transformation rooted in the reproduction of our communities, of life, of work and of society as a whole.

´An extraordinary new book.´
CounterPunch

´De Angelis does for the commons in this book what Marx did for capitalism in Capital . Omnia Sunt Communia will be indispensable to scholars and activists grappling with the most important question of our time: what system, if any, should follow the end of capitalism?´
George Caffentzis, author of In Letters of Blood and Fire: Work, Machines, and the Crisis of Capitalism
´An ambitious and path-breaking work. While he introduces us to the main theorists of the commons, De Angelis also explores new ground. It makes for a powerful and challenging book that all educators and activists in movements for social justice should read.´
Silvia Federici, author of Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle

´Carefully argued and with a wealth of profound examples, this book is at once expansively curious and politically urgent. De Angelis does justice to the complex heat and light of the commons: our hidden past, our living present and our potential future.´
Max Haiven, author of Crises of Imagination, Crises of Power

´As the crises of neoliberal capitalism deepen, Massimo De Angelis offers us a sweeping framework for understanding how commons can provide practical pathways for political and social emancipation. Timely, insightful and hopeful.´
David Bollier, author of Think Like a Commoner

´De Angelis has applied his considerable academic understanding to his practical experience of communing to advance a critical conversation on social change.´
