Public Luxury
„Public Luxury is not just a narrative but a concrete proposal for economic security for all and new economic imaginaries: democratic design of economy and society.“
communia – Public luxury: for a future worth fighting for
Unconditional access to the goods that make our lives possible and beautiful — and that for everyone: that is public luxury! From public transport that makes cars unnecessary, to a public space where nobody is excluded or has to fear the police. From secure provision and good work in education and health, to good and affordable housing, to renewable energy for all. All of it is doable!
The book Öffentlicher Luxus, by communia and BUNDjugend, was published by Karl Dietz Verlag on 1 November 2023. It is available from the publisher and in bookshops. The book is also available as a free open-access PDF for everyone to download.
With contributions by Nancy Fraser, communia, George Monbiot, BUNDjugend, Barbara Fried & Alex Wischnewski, Simin Jawabreh, Gesine Langlotz & Anne Klingenmeier, Astrid Schöggl and Eva von Redecker.
