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.

which things?

reply

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.

oh which things by ostrom did you read?

Hey! I’ve read parts of Elinor Ostrom’s Governing the Commons. Really fascinating how she shows communities managing resources sustainably without needing strict government control or privatization. Her principles on collective management and local governance definitely challenge the usual “tragedy of the commons” idea. What about you?

which part of her framework was your favorite?
