Abstract

I In this article, we show how capitalism, in its current neoliberal inflexion, has tended to produce different inequality effects, and we argue how contemporary discussions about the common emerge to counteract said effects. When characterizing some of the most influential views in these debates, we illustrate the singularity of our approach and how it contributes to some of the questions that have been posed on the subject. We are interested in accounting for the reasons that lead us to posit that the common is reinvented, in practices of political experimentation situated in three overlapping dimensions (institutions, ways of life and egalitarian actions), between which productive tensions might arise. Given that in said practices the redemocratization of state and social institutions in general is at play.

Keywords: I Democracy, inequality, neoliberalism, political action, subjectification processes, the common
