Mutualism another approach to commoning?
I recently came across the idea of "mutualism" from Sara Horowitz, author of Mutualism: Building the Next Economy from the Ground Up.
It seems to be another way to think about commoning with a focus on more structured forms of organising like unions, coops, and mutual aid networks. It also considers financial viability of such groups. I find it quite useful, here's a couple introductory links to the idea:
