Make the City Ours
What would it take to decommodify New York City under a Zohran Mamdani mayoralty? This book connects policy, organizing, and collective power to show how cities can be reclaimed from the market. What would it take to build a decommodified city—not just in policy, but in everyday life? Written in a new political moment, this book argues that transformation depends on growing movement spaces rooted in reciprocity, collective action, and shared power. Blending vision with strategy, the authors move beyond issue-by-issue analysis to outline an alternative model of urban governance—one in which municipal government helps build a non-market city while fostering the solidarities needed to sustain it. The focus is not just affordability, but power: who governs, how decisions are made, and how residents act as participants rather than consumers. Across housing, transit, care, education, and public safety, the book shows how decommodification can be advanced through democratic, municipalist approaches that both stabilize communities and expand participation in governing shared systems. Grounded in organizing and campaigns, it offers a hopeful, movement-centered vision while insisting that lasting change must outlast electoral cycles. The result is a practical, movement-rooted blueprint for reclaiming the city as a shared political project.

Cinema vivente
«Il cinema attuale è la camera oscura. Il cinema del futuro sarà la camera Ardente. Il roveto ardente che parla, donde vengono le leggi del mondo». Così scriveva Saint-Pol-Roux (1861-1940), poeta solitario dalla barba bianca, soprannominato Saint-Pol-Roux-le-Magnique, «e si direbbe che questo soprannome se l'era proprio meritato, tanto a causa dello splendore dei suoi costumi, quanto per la bellezza truculenta dei suoi discorsi». Il suo libro Cinema Vivente è un folgorante appello rivolto agli scienziati e ai pionieri di un'arte ancora alla sua preistoria, la "prova generale" di un mondo nuovo, in cui «ci sdoppieremo. I doppi prenderanno il nostro posto, e persino le diplomazie e le guerre future si svolgeranno tramite gli altri noi stessi». Prestare ascolto a un libro come questo significa immaginare un cinema "altro", nato prima della sua invenzione; un cinema oggi in sorprendente dialogo con i nuovi scenari tecnologici, e allo stesso tempo ancora rivolto contro ogni gabbia prestabilita.

We, the Sovereign
“Dark days, but Gianpaolo Baiocchi has given us a bright light. We, the Sovereign , is much more than an astute analysis of the global conjuncture. It’s a rallying cry, a refusal to just let the recent upsurge of popular democratic mobilization, in Latin America and elsewhere, fade into the past. There’s much, as Baiocchi incisively shows, to build on as we move forward building a more inclusive, humane world.”Greg Grandin, New York University“Is the Left really in crisis? This book gives this question a rightly nuanced answer. Based on a solid knowledge of the successes and failures of Latin American emancipatory attempts, Gianpaolo Baiocchi points at the need for a radically democratic people sovreignty, connecting the energies of social movements with institutions.”Donatella della Porta, Scuola normale superiore, Florence

Deepening Democracy
Institutional Innovations in Empowered Participatory GovernanceThe forms of liberal democracy developed in the 19th century seem increasingly ill-suited to the problems we face in the 21st. This dilemma has given rise to a deliberative democracy, and this text explores four contemporary cases in which the principles have been at least partially instituted.

Popular Democracy
The Paradox of Participation"Projects for citizen participation are reshaping discussions about democracy and actual government practices around the world. Yet the role of experts and bureaucracies has grown at the same time. Gianpaolo Baiocchi and Ernesto Ganuza make sense of this seeming paradox and identify the possibilities of a rapidly changing political era."—Craig Calhoun, Centennial Professor, London School of Economics "Popular Democracy is a masterpiece! If you're tearing your hair out over the crisis of democracy, this book is for you. Let Gianpaolo Baiocchi and Ernesto Ganuza—with the precision of scientists and artistry of storytellers—lead you deeply into the emergent, fascinating world of face-to-face democracy, particularly 'participatory budgeting.' The nuances and paradoxes of Popular Democracy intrigue rather than baffle, so this extraordinary book can encourage us to stop the wringing of hands and instead dig them deeply into the good dirt of democracy."—Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet and Democracy's Edge "Popular Democracy makes an eminent and critical contribution to the scholarship about one of the most interesting political experiments of our time, extending ethnographic work to acquire historical depth and global scope. Theoretically deft and methodologically innovative, it lifts the discussion to a new level and is a good read to boot."—Andreas Glaeser, University of Chicago "This book is an excellent example of careful research that engagingly narrates the blow-by-blow of everyday politics while analyzing larger theoretical issues....Baiocchi and Ganuza have the ability to express complex ideas about participation in an elegant and intelligible manner. For that reason, I would even recommend this book to advanced undergraduate students who are interested in recent political changes. These strengths and the importance of the analysis make the book a significant contribution to political sociology."—Andrew Buck, American Journal of Sociology
