Learn about the commons - for free!

The November 12 issue of ephemera: theory & politics in organization, focuses on the commons and their im/possibilities, is open access.

In other words, those with limited means can learn about the commons, while as per my previous post, learning about austerity is for those who can afford $18 per article:

Although individual open access issues are far too common to warrant mention every time, it is useful to consider the contrast. Open access to this kind of work is possible, happening, and even common. If you want to publish a special issue on austerity, you can find a venue to make it open access.
