The conception of property is usually moulded upon diverting historical and political-philosophical frameworks. The current interest on the commons illustrates these divergences when they come up between a 'pure' public and a 'pure' private form of ownership. This conceptual triad misleads by conflating private property with an absolute property right while equating public property with a centralised political regime. This article traces the republican conception of property in order to show how it draws a legal and philosophical continuum around different forms of ownership, based on a fiduciary principle underlying the relationship between the sovereign or principal (trustor) and its agent (trustee). Despite modern socialism apparently left aside the question of the commons, the republican-fiduciary rationale was reformulated according to the modern industrial capitalist society.

En aquest article ubiquem la mobilització per una renda bàsica en el context de la ruptura del pacte social de postguerra, amb especial atenció a les particulars circumstàncies que defineixen aquest cicle de mobilitzacions al Regne d'Espanya. Mostrarem, en primer lloc, per què en repetides ocasions s'ha presentat la renda bàsica com a part d'un procés constituent que permeti conformar noves relacions polítiques, econòmiques i socials que afavoreixin el desplegament d'una democràcia plena en tots els àmbits de la vida social. En segon lloc, analitzarem la naturalesa dels actors que han optat per aquesta mena d'estratègies "constituents", i assenyalarem les freqüents confluències d'aquestes formes de mobilització amb el que anomenarem "estratègies de contenció i resistència". Conclourem amb un breu exercici de prospectiva social i política en què presentarem l'emergència de l'anomenat "precariat" a escala global com a factor explicatiu de la reproducció, present i futura, de formes de lluita per la renda bàsica com les analitzades.
