‘Shared care’ is how we put the commons into Thai. It’s a concept and practice where the community and society jointly manage their lives and necessities with a strong sense of care. The author presents great hope for transformation through commoning with a powerful message for the present and the future. We realize that all living things truly co-own the ecosystem; therefore, we must care for our Earth together.

From the Preface by Somsook Boonyabancha, Baan Mankong Co-housing project, Bangkok: “According to the approach proposed for our consideration in this book, we will see that communities, the integration of people who are self-managed together in various dimensions, even though interference weakens them, still have much content and potential. The development challenge is to find a way to promote and restore these existing basic powers to be strongly connected. Ordinary people can come together, jointly own, jointly think, jointly manage, and create a living system, create freedom in designing, living, and managing space, jointly restoring the ecosystem, taking care of each other, and having community welfare and having a fund, social economy, culture, and development to jointly manage various matters and activities in the context of modern society.”

Translation based on Second Edition of Think Like a Commoner (2025).
