["American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Volume 80, Issue 2, Page 823-833, March 2021. ", "\nAbstract\nFranklin Obeng‐Odoom's recent work offers an alternative to both conventional economics and to what he calls the \"Western left consensus.\" Obeng‐Odoom's option involves placing justice at the center of policy regarding commons, not as a side note. Justice requires a focus on the land issue. This much is true, but Obeng‐Odoom ignores the plurality of views that are critical of the dominant political economy. A successful transition to a sustainable future will make use of many cultural and religious traditions working together.\n"]
