G. Hardin (1988) revised his idea :
The title of my paper [Science 1968] should have been, “The tragedy of the unmanaged commons”. A brief, but I think adequate, summary of the thesis would be the following: “Under conditions of scarcity, where the number of players is not small, an unmanaged commons inevitably ends in ruin.”
