[P2P-F] Fwd: New From Pluto Press - Nature for Sale: The Commons versus Commodities

[Patrick Anderson]

I think the tragedy of the commons is also
partly caused by a feeling of helplessness
combined with the (partially true) belief
that things are already so bad and the
amount we each add, individually, is so
small, that it hardly matters whether each
of us adds to the problem or not and so
we choose the short-term benefits over
the long-term benefits because it seems
(it feels as though) no matter what we do,
the end result will be the same.
