Concluding Remarks: Towards a New Ecological Political Economy References IndexReviewsThe Commons in an Age of Uncertainty is a remarkable scholarly reflection on the features of the actual economy most neglected by what has become standard economic theory. Most important, perhaps, is the renewal of a focus on land, which is a unique form of capital. It may help to overcome the scandalous neglect of Henry George, which has made the dominance of neoliberal economic theory, so much preferred by transnational corporations, possible. - John B. Cobb, Jr., American theologian, philosopher, environmentalist, and faculty co-director (Emeritus), The Center for Process Studies Rejecting both Conventional Wisdom and Western Left Consensus discourses about the Commons, Obeng-Odoom skillfully articulates a third way: The Radical Alternative. Weaving together concepts such as rent theft, just land, and the Global South, he argues passionately for a Just Ecological Political Economy. - Julian Agyeman, Tufts University, author of Introducing Just Sustainabilities: Policy, Planning, and Practice The Commons in An Age of Uncertainty is a tour de force. -- Ulrich Duchrow, University of Heidelberg * <i>American Journal of Economics and Sociology</i> * An interesting contribution to urban studies, in addition to a comprehensive examination of the socio-ecological crisis. -- Domen Zalac, University of Ljubljana * <i>Urbani izziv</i> * Author InformationFranklin Obeng-Odoom is associate professor of Sustainability Science at the University of Helsinki.
