"Ostrom challenged conventional wisdom

that common property is poorly

managed & should be regulated by

central authorities or privatized.

The commons of Hardin's tragedy refers to those pastures,

fields, fens, forests, rivers and other mutually managed

physical resources that were unbordered and unfenced, bu

not always unowned, in the pre-industrial regions of Britain

Scotland and some parts of Europe up until the early 17th

century.

enclosure (1764)by claudiogennari
