[lbo-talk] tragedy of the commons

[Joanna]

I remember seeing a reference to this nonesense (tragedy of the commons) 
in Barron's I think and wondering what the fuck the author was talking 
about. Because, you know, the only piece of evidence for that I can 
think of is Easter Island. Other than that, looks to me like indigeneous 
peoples have done a pretty good job as stewards of the land. There's a 
long tract on this in Traven's "The White Rose."

I mean, it's not like the Americas were barren deserts when the European 
privatization began.

But facts don't matter. The theft continues apace....
