Comercialización: la antítesis del compartir
Article / 24th July 2014“Compartir es la clave para resolver los problemas del mundo”. Tal declaración es tan simple que puede fracasar en hacer un llamamiento, por lo que si queremos comprender lo que significa debemos ir mucho más profundo en esta materia.
Uniendo a los pueblos del mundo

Article / 2nd July 2014August 2013 marked STWR’s 10th anniversary and signalled the beginning of a new phase in the organisation’s work. Campaigning for economic sharing is now at the forefront of STWR’s activities, and our research program has been reoriented to support this goal.
Global economic sharing: the most important debate of our time?
Article / 24th June 2014The implications of moving towards a global sharing economy are immense, but there are many reasons to embrace this simple concept - which is far more radical and urgent than it may at first seem. As a primer from STWR makes clear, the necessity of sharing the world’s resources is central to the most critical issues that humanity faces in the 21st century.
A primer on global economic sharing
Report / 17th June 2014This primer outlines the extent of the interconnected global crises we face, and points the way towards an alternative approach to managing the world’s resources based upon international cooperation and economic sharing.
Global justice, sustainability and the sharing economy
Article / 3rd June 2014If the sharing economy movement is to play a role in shifting society away from the dominant economic paradigm, it will have to get political. And this means guarding against the co-optation of sharing by the corporate sector, while joining forces with a much larger body of activists that have long been calling - either explicitly or implicitly - for more transformative and fundamental forms of economic sharing across the world.
A collection of resources on the sharing economy
Article / 30th May 2014STWR has published various resources over recent months and years that outline how authentic forms of sharing relate to the political and economic challenges of the 21st century. Many of these blogs, articles or reports relate directly to the sharing economy, a selection of which are collated here according to four broad subheadings.
Equity + sustainability = sharing globally
Article / 21st March 2014At a time when the risk of civilizational collapse is widely forewarned, it is time to recognise that the call for sharing is a cause that can unite concerned citizens working on a diverse range of interconnected global issues.
The radical implications of ‘internationalising our minds’

Hence the implications of internationalising our minds are all-inclusive and profound.
The illegitimate power of multinational corporations
Article / 28th January 2014As the influence of multinational corporations over public policy continues unabated, the key challenge for those campaigning for social and environmental justice is how to redistribute political power back into the hands of ordinary people.
