The "Tragedy of the Commons" is an oft-misunderstood term that deserves some analysis. 🧐
1/ Coined by Garrett Hardin in 1968, the term is often considered a condemnation of local peoples being unable to collectively manage & maintain a shared resource.
For this reason (& others), many ppl reject the Tragedy narrative as an attempt to disempower commoners, to retain power for centralized/colonial "expert" authority. Cuz that's also uncool.😤
