In praise of Russell Brand’s sharing revolution

Sharing as the new common sense in a post-growth world
Article / 29th August 2014We need to talk a lot more about sharing as a way to radically reframe the post-growth debate, argues a recent report from the Green House.

Putting the ‘sharing’ back in to the sharing economy
Article / 24th April 2014A vibrant debate is beginning to question the meaning of sharing in relation to the big questions of our time. In a recent article printed in STIR magazine, STWR argues that this emerging economic concept should not be beholden to solely personal, consumer-oriented or commercialised forms of collaboration, and must ultimately be reflected in government policies on the national and international level.
