“The rational herdsman concludes that the only sensible course for him to pursue is to add another animal to his herd. And another; and another . . . But this is the conclusion reached by each and every rational herdsman sharing a commons. Therein is the tragedy. Each man is locked into a system that compels him to increase his herd without limit — in a world that is limited. Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons. Freedom in a commons brings ruin to all.” MenWorldBelieveCoursesInterestAnimalLimitsIncreaseTragedyAddRationalPursueConclusionRuinsDestinationSensibleLockedHerds Author:Garrett Hardin
