"Der verbreitete Gedanke, dass Kollektiveigentum zum Scheitern verurteilt ist, hat sich fest in den Köpfen der Menschen verankert. Aber stimmt das überhaupt?"

@hrheingold this is incredibly helpful. Thanks for sharing. I now can't stop thinking about how this can apply to childcare.

@rbenjamin Are you in the #socialcoop #readinggroup yet? We just had an #ElinorOstrom kick recently...

#GoverningTheCommons

@eloquence good review! Having just read Ostrom's #GoverningTheCommons I decided to pass on this #readinggroup - 120pp and leaning on Ostrom and Alinsky for the title draw, I could hope for a thorough tight application of Ostrom's participatory multi-layered feedback principles to modern activism dilemmas, but I expected something perhaps even less coherent than your review hints. Look forward to others thoughts!

Sub-themes in #GoverningTheCommons

* Institutional rules are a dynamic historical process, involving agents at the individual, local, regional, and state levels.
* Common resource pools (partially-closed access shared ecological goods) do not necessarily have a fixed "optimal" result of consumption, other than "success" in sustained existence.
* Models that assume privitization or centralization are the only choices fail to explain the real world, and constrain policy in ways likely to fail.

3 key contributions of #GoverningTheCommons to my mind:

1) Support for bottom-up organizing principles ala subsidiarity, of nested participatory institutions at each level where local knowledge exists to be gathered.

2) Specific value of participatory monitoring and enforcement in producing trust (that one is not a "sucker") in excess of costs of guards or fines.

3) Finite ecological resources require restraint and mgmt to sustain benefits, and more than we believe are finite & ecological.

"To make a model tractable, theorists must make simplifying assumptions. Many of these assumptions are equivalent to setting a parameter (e.g., the amount of information available to participants...) equal to a constant (e.g., complete information...). Because the resulting model appears to be relatively simple, with only a few “moving parts,” it may be considered by some to be general, rather than the special model that it is."

#GoverningTheCommons

"I mean institutions that enable individuals to achieve productive outcomes in situations where temptations to free-ride and shirk are ever present. A competitive market – the epitome of private institutions – is itself a public good. Once a competitive market is provided, individuals can enter and exit freely whether or not they contribute to the cost of providing and maintaining the market. No market can exist for long without underlying public institutions to support it." #GoverningTheCommons

Ok, starting to read Ostrom's #GoverningTheCommons here, having just finished Naomi Klein's rehash of the need for an intersectional alliance to paint a common vision for non-neoliberal sustainable institutions. Struck by Ostrom's "Common Pool Resources" applicability to so much of what we currently parcel out for individually maximized/optimized consumption.

But probably after Ostrom's #GoverningTheCommons that you all put on the list and then Nicky Case bumped up with the very end of this talk http://longnow.org/seminars/02017/aug/07/seeing-whole-systems/
