Capitalism 3.0

Peter Barnes does something rare: he moves past diagnosis and proposes a concrete market-compatible mechanism — commons trusts — that gave policy thinkers and environmentalists an actual institutional framework to debate. Critics rightly noted it can feel practically ambitious beyond what real-world politics supports, but the ideas sparked serious discussion and the book remains freely available as a PDF, which means there is no reason not to engage with it. For anyone thinking about ESG, the commons, or capitalism reform, this is foundational.
