---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stacco Troncoso (Loomio) <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Dec 14, 2015 at 5:09 PM Subject: [Commons Transition] The Promise of the Commons - 22 minute film To: [email protected] Stacco Troncoso started a discussion in Commons Transition: *The Promise of the Commons - 22 minute film <https://www.loomio.org/d/u8OdY4hJ/the-promise-of-the-commons-22-minute-film?utm_campaign=thread_mailer&utm_medium=email&utm_source=new_discussion>* This film suggests that the well known essay “Tragedy of the Commons” written in 1968 by Professor Garrett Hardin is far too glib and is premised on an intuitive but ultimately unsubstantiated assumption. The authors suggest that in order to ensure that human society and civilization can successfully respond to human induced climate change it is necessary to dig deeper into the lives and the work of those who now live without equal rights or land ownership. Could looking further back in historical precedent lead to greater justice and replace the tragedy of the commons with “The Promise of the Commons”.
