[Coral-List] cooperation and the tragedy of the commons

[Ehsan KAYAL]

Dear Douglas and other colleagues. Long ago, the myth of the tragedy of the
commons has been debunked by economists and other scholars (see here for
instance: https://economicquestions.org/tragedy/). I believe it is time we
biologist also accept the fallacy of such theory.
Cheers,
E
