9. Garrett Hardin, the author of Tragedy of the Commons, in 1963.

10. The Tragedy of the Commons is the title of an influential article written by Garrett Hardin, first published in the journal Science in 1968. Garrett Hardin Science1968 The article describes a dilemma in which multiple individuals acting independently in their own self-interest can ultimately destroy a shared resource even where it is clear that it is not in anyone's long term interest for this to happen.

11. A "commons" is any resource used as though it belongs to all. In other words, when anyone can use a shared resource simply because one wants or needs to use it, then one is using a commons. For example, all land is part of our commons because it is a component of our life support and social systems.

12. A commons is destroyed by uncontrolled use—neither intent of the user, nor ownership are important. An example of uncontrolled use is when one can use land (part of our commons) any way one wants.

13. Central to Hardin's article is a metaphor of herders sharing a common parcel of land (the commons) on which they are all entitled to let their cows graze.commons In Hardin's view it is in each herder’s interest to put as many cows as possible onto the land even if the commons is damaged as a result.

14. The herder receives all the benefits from the additional cows but the damage to the commons is shared by the entire group. If all herders make this individually rational decision, however, the commons is destroyed and all herders suffer.

15. Paradoxically, Hardin's article has been interpreted as an argument both for the privatization of community assets and for increased government regulation. privatization SHARE
