Avoiding co-optation of the commons under capitalism

For this interview I sat down with Hannes Gerhardt, professor of Human Geography at the University of West Georgia and author of a recent piece in ROAR Magazine titled, Blockchains: Building blocks for a postcapitalist future? . He has published on a wide range of political and economic issues and is currently working on a book exploring pathways to establishing non-capitalist forms of economic production.

During the interview we talk about how his research interests in human geography and post-capitalism relates to blockchain, some of his ideas in his article in Roar about "re-valuing and de-fetishizing", and his advice for commons projects to avoid co-optation by capitalists.
