About this ebook
Learn about the Tragedy of the Commons with iMinds insightful knowledge series.

The term was coined in 1967 by Garrett Hardin, a biologist from the University of California, in a famous article in the journal Science. According to Hardin, there are some kinds of problems which society cannot resolve through technology, but which instead require a wholesale change in morality and behaviour - what we might now call a cultural shift. iMinds brings targeted knowledge to your eReading device with short information segments to whet your mental appetite and broaden your mind.
