[lbo-talk] Garett Hardin's 1998 take on the Tragedy of the Commons

[farmelantj at juno.com]

I have found a 1998 article by Hardin which, like his
original piece, appeared in Science Magazine.  It can
be found at:

www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/280/5364/682

He doesn't quite repudiate his earlier piece,
but warns against misinterpretations of his
original thesis.  And in this one he emphasizes
that either private property or what he calls
a "managed commons" can provide viable solutions
to the problem.  He also emphasizes that either
approach can fail. To some extent he undermines
the ideological uses of his original thesis,
to which to some extent he had been responsible
for in the first place.
