Commoner Systems

A vibrant economy is at our fingertips

Commoner Systems exists to build a bridge into a new commons-centered economy that can reliably deliver economic vibrancy, resiliency, equity, and environmental harmony.

With partners on the ground, we co-design evidence-based, context-centered strategies for each group we work with, so it can easily implement platforms and tools for collaborative exchange and investment. Read more about our approach.
