Summary: <p>The Jefferson Exchange: May 7, 2013, Hour 2:</p><p><b> <span class="headlinetext">Our Common Wealth</span> </b><br><br> The concept of "commons" can be a tricky thing, especially in a culture like ours that places a high value on ownership… of property, of material goods, of money.  But does anybody really own any portion of the water, the air, the earth? These were issues pondered and written about often by former "Nader Raider" Jonathan Rowe, who died two years ago.  Many of his writings have been collected in<a href="http://jonathanrowe.org/common-wealth" target="_blank"><strong> "Our Common Wealth: The Hidden Economy That Makes Everything Else Work."</strong></a>  Editor Peter Barnes joins us. </p>
