Book description
Learn about the Tragedy of the Commons with iMinds insightful knowledge
series. The Tragedy of the Commons is a situation in which a
jointly-owned resource is overused or destroyed because each person
takes more than they would if the resource was privately owned. With
each individual acting independently, the combined pressure on the
resource exceeds what is in the interests of the community as a whole.
The term was coined in 1967 by Garrett Hardin, a biologist from the
University of California, in a famous article in the journal Science.
According to Hardin, there are some kinds of problems which society
cannot resolve through technology, but which instead require a wholesale
change in morality and behaviour - what we might now call a cultural
shift. iMinds brings targeted knowledge to your eReading device with
