Major recognition that Hardin's thesis is ahistorical. In England the commons wasn't lost or overused - it was 'enclosed'. The entire neo-liberal economic theory of resolving ecological issues by developing individualised, private property rights over natural resources is based on this misreading by Hardin.

It is a shame that this pragmatic approach hasn't been used to look for alternatives to ETS.
