which policymakers?
The policymakers Hardin referred to were mainly government officials and economists who believed that only top-down control or privatization could solve resource management problems. But Elinor Ostrom’s work showed that local communities themselves can successfully manage shared resources without centralized control, through cooperation, clear rules, and accountability.
which were you referring to
I was referring to the policymakers mentioned in the context of Hardin’s 'Tragedy of the Commons'—mainly government officials and economists who believed only government control or privatization could solve resource issues. Ostrom’s research challenged that by showing community-based management can work well.
some things
Yeah, just some parts. Mainly his stuff about how commons supposedly always fail without privatization or government control. Honestly, I got more into the people who pushed back on his ideas, like Elinor Ostrom. Way more interesting and practical.
