'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.

Worked well to separate space!
Size: 132‘’Wide-6 Panel, Color: Grey
Did the job I needed. I created a hang out area in part of the basement for my pre-teen and wanted a little privacy/separation for the area. Not hard to put together and was to move around. I do wish the legs Ira on with the rollers didn’t jet out so far.. is quite a tripping hazard..

Perfect!
Size: 88‘’Wide-4 Panel, Color: Grey, Size: 88‘’Wide-4 Panel, Color: Grey
This is exactly what I was looking for. I created essentially a doorway into the pantry area I have in my basement. I had the bought a screen years ago that hid most of it but this completed it. I ordered the 4 panels, for the size, and created a "door" of out the two.

**Product Review: Disappointing Experience with Misaligned Pieces**
Size: 88‘’Wide-4 Panel, Color: Grey
I purchased this product with high expectations, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a major disappointment. The biggest issue? The pieces are terribly misaligned. Assembling it was a nightmare, as nothing fit together properly. The holes didn’t line up, the joints were uneven, and I had to force parts into place, which only made the situation worse. Something that should have taken 15 minutes took hours trying to screw the poles together. This product clearly lacks quality control. For the price I paid, I expected much better craftsmanship. It's incredibly frustrating to spend time and money on something that is so poorly made. I would not recommend this to anyone unless they want to waste their time and end up with a subpar product. Avoid this at all costs!
