RE: [Asrg] Tragedy of the Commons2003-03-19 22:27:18Be carefull bandying about slogans of this sort. The tragedy of the commons was a slogan used in the 18th and 19th century to justify the enclosure of common land as private property. The argument had some validity but the outcome of the enclosures was that the poor were completely disposessed and the wealth was appropriated by the aristocracy.
