Learn Liberty: Tragedy of the Commons

Lynne Kiesling

Here’s another great video from Learn Liberty: Sean Mulholland introducing the “tragedy of the commons”, which, as he accurately notes, is more accurately called the problem of open access. If you teach a class where you talk about this problem, or want to learn more about this fundamental ill-defined property rights foundation of environmental problems, this video is a good resource.
