Capitalism 3.0: A Guide to Reclaiming the Commons

     "The commons -- those creations of nature and society we inherit together and must
      preserve for our children -- is under siege. Our current version of capitalism -- the corporate,
      globalized version 2.0 -- is rapidly squandering this shared heritage. Now, Peter Barnes offers
      a solution: protect the commons by giving it property rights and strong constitutional managers.

      Barnes shows how capitalism -- like a computer -- is run by an operationg system. Our current
      operating system gives too much power to profit-maximizing corporations that devour the commons
      and distribute most of their profits to a sliver of the population. And government -- which in
      theory should defend the commons -- is all too often a tool of those very corporations.

      Barnes proposes a revised operating system -- Capitalism 3.0 -- that protects the commons while
      preserving the many strenghts of capitalism as we know it. His major innovation is the commons
      trust, a market-based legal entity with the power to limit use of scarce commons, charge rent,
      and pay dividends -- in both cash and services -- to everyone.

      In Barnes' vision, an array of commons trusts would institutionalize our obligations to future
      generations, fellow citizens, and nature. Once established, they'd use markets and property
      rights to create a better world for all.

      Capitalism 3.0 offers a practical alternative to our currente flawed economic system. It points
      to the way to a future in which we can retain capitalism's virtues while mitigating its vices."
