Hardin, G., 2009. The tragedy of the commons. Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research, 1(3), pp.243-253.
Notes
- Classic article describing dynamic by which self-interested actors damage common resources in pursuit of personal gain.
- Cites importance of top-down control or privatization as potential but flawed solutions.
- Ostrom's work in Common Pool Resource Management refutes and expands on many aspects of Hardin, but is less well known and read.
