Who Do You Trust With the Commons

Three camps fight over shared resources. The real question is about trust.

Every fight over a shared resource ends with three options on the table: the state, the market, or the community. This episode argues that choosing between them is not a technical question about resource management. It is a question about where you think legitimate authority lives.
