OnCommons

Quick (and necessarily inaccurate - so read them) overview to some of Darius's recent contributions here ...

Commons are things which are collectively owned or collectively created or collectively accessed. But when a common is also something which can be destroyed if it is consumed at too high a rate, this leads to a TragedyOfTheCommons.

Darius is developing a set of pages discussing these :

• CommonResources
• CommonsProblems,
• one attempt to solve commons problems : GoatPolice
• Commons problems can be compared with PublicGoodsProblems
• Problems with commons are one of the types of CollectiveActionProblems (See also TypologyOfCollectiveActionProblems)

See also :

• PropertyRights
• GardensAndGiftEconomies, so GiftEconomies in general

• Commons are created by non-profit motivated communities (CreativeCommons, TheAgeOfAmateurs)

• Pessimism on TheEndOfOpen, CreatingCommunities
