Скачать или смотреть The Tragedy of the Commons. STOPPING THE TRAGEDY: How Communities Can Save Shared Resources

The "Tragedy of the Commons" says we're doomed to destroy what we share. But is that true? 🤯

Is ruin inevitable for shared resources? 🤔 This video, explained by GenAI, dives deep into the Tragedy of the Commons, a foundational concept articulated by Garrett Hardin in 1968. We explore how rational individual self-interest can lead to the collective destruction of a resource that is rivalrous and non-excludable, using examples like overfishing, pollution, and traffic congestion.

Crucially, we confront the major critiques of Hardin's deterministic view. Learn the essential distinction between an unregulated open-access resource and a historically governed commons.

The video then highlights the revolutionary, Nobel Prize-winning work of Elinor Ostrom. Ostrom's research empirically demonstrated that communities can successfully self-govern common-pool resources through local rules, monitoring, and collective action. Discover the alternatives to simple privatization or top-down government control and see how local governance offers a sustainable solution!

Can people really manage shared resources? Watch to find out!
