Design for a New Humanism

The collaborative shift is depicted as a “revolution” of communities and collaboration. Shouldn’t we look more into the potential of individuals and how to shape their interactions?

On the role of Platform Based Peer Production and the Commons in the dynamics of Innovation

I recently wrote this article for Spanda Journal: it explores the hypothesis that cognitive capitalism and peer production can coexist in the perspective of an abundant economy, refusing the perspective that puts capitalism and private enterprise in direct confrontation with open, participative and cooperative ownership and governance models.
