'One of the most important books I've read in years' Brian EnoWe are losing the commons. Austerity and neoliberal policies have depleted our shared wealth; our national utilities have been sold off to foreign conglomerates, social housing is almost non-existent, our parks are cordoned off for private events and our national art galleries are sponsored by banks and oil companies. This plunder deprives us all of our common rights, recognized as far back as the Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest of 1217, to share fairly and equitably in our public wealth.

Guy Standing leads us through a new appraisal of the commons, stemming from the medieval concept of common land reserved in ancient law from marauding barons, to his modern reappraisal of the resources we all hold in common - a brilliant new synthesis that crystallises quite how much public wealth has been redirected to the 1% in recent decades through the state-approved exploitation of everything from our land to our state housing, health and benefit systems, to our justice system, schools, newspapers and even the air we breathe. Plunder of the Commons proposes a charter for a new form of commoning, of remembering, guarding and sharing that which belongs to us all, to slash inequality and soothe our current political instability.

Nice Platters for family Thanksgiving take out
The family used these to take some Thanksgiving food home. These paper platters are sturdy and hold food without bending or leaking. I like the size because it works well for bigger meals or when I don’t feel like washing dishes. They make serving and cleanup quick and simple.

Perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas
These platters are sturdy and just the right size if you’re having a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner and don’t want to deal with a bunch of dishes. My family use them for the first time this year and we were absolutely delighted. The platters are sturdy, high-quality, significantly larger than the 10 inch paper plates and hold a large amount of food which is essential when you’re serving a large meal.

Perfect for every occasion. Absolutely love this brand.
We always buy disposable tableware from Dixie, and these platters are another great product from the brand. The size is perfect for barbecue food, burgers, ribs, sides, everything fits easily. They’re sturdy, don’t bend or leak, and hold up well even with heavier food. We host BBQs often and these make serving and cleanup super easy. Reliable quality and definitely worth buying again.

these are very nice platter/plates
these are not quite as thick as I was hoping for, but they’re really nice. I guess I’m just used to using paper plate holders underneath them but if you use two together, they’ll hold just about anything that you can put on them.
