The Art Of Free Cooperation

Inspired by the collaborative models of non-proprietary "open source" software, new German writer Christoph Spehr, Howard Rheingold, Brian Holmes and the editors critique both the received capitalist and socialist methods of social integration, and elaborate a practical vision for a third alternative, one that promises to surmount the problems of inequality on the one hand and the lack of individual freedoms on the other. Part performative intervention, part radical polemic and activist manual, The Art of Free Cooperation includes a DVD with additional interviews and performance highlights with Spehr and others.
