I was born and educated in England. I have worked in several countries, rich and poor. The common denominator has been bloatwork - government legislated work not worth its cost. This inspired me to design 'happi'Ocracy. In a world of happiocracies, we shall all be millionaires - it's true.

Elinor Ostrom Debunks Tragedy of the Commons on 2009-11-25
-
Over many decades, Ostrom has documented how various communities manage common resources—grazing lands, forests, irrigation waters, fisheries—equitably and sustainably over the long term
-
the Tragedy of the Commons, which hold that private property is the only effective method to prevent finite resources from being ruined or depleted.
-
-
“What we have ignored is what citizens can do and the importance of real involvement.”
-Elinor Ostrom
-
Governing The Commons - Forbes.com on 2009-11-25
-
Relentlessly, Ostrom has pursued answers to two questions:
-
(1) Since "everybody's property is nobody's property," how is it that there are so many cases where collectives of ordinary people with no education and with none of the economists' knowledge of "the tragedy of the commons," in fact discover ingenious rules (institutions) for taking the "tragedy" out of a productive resource they hold in common?
-
-
a Swiss village whose people have private property in the plots they plant and harvest, but also have a communal summer meadow for grazing their cows
-
One rule, still enforced, dating back to 1517 states that "no citizen could send more cows to the alp than he could feed during the winter."
-
(2) As a distinguished political-economic scientist she will be the first to tell you that there are also plenty of commons problems that represent institutional failures and fragilities; she has asked why, and what makes the difference between success and failure?
-
The Nobel Committee in Economics is to be congratulated for recognizing Elinor Ostrom "for her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons." She and her companion in the shared prize, Oliver Williamson, cited "for his analysis of economic governance, especially the boundaries of the firm," wonderfully complement each other.
