Gustavo Salas of Cecosesola: Prioritizing Commoning in a World of Capitalist Markets

In this episode of *Frontiers of Commoning*, David Bollier interviews Gustavo Salas of Cecosesola—one of the world’s most enduring cooperative federations. Salas shares how Cecosesola has fostered a culture of commoning rooted in trust, mutual care, and collective self-management. By deprioritizing market norms in favor of affordable, humane provisioning—from fresh produce to healthcare and funerary services—the cooperative has thrived and earned the Right Livelihood Award in 2022. The episode deeply reflects the Planet Project’s values of relational economy, social justice, self-organizing change, and compassionate stewardship.
