Carlos Perona Calvete discusses the history of the commons in Europe. He explores the Christian origins of the commons, presents a metaphysics of this institution and considers the (real) tragedy of the commons; the historical enclosure of common land and resources by avaricious elites. He argues that restoring successfully self-managed commons must be part of any counter-revolutionary effort today.
