David Casassas · Popular Political Economy
In eras of democratic revolutions, yesterday and today, popular cultures and practices emerge, contradicting tyrannical political economies and pointing towards forms of collective control of the material and symbolic bases of our lives. This space aspires to contribute towards such popular political economy, which is to say common government of the world we live in.
