Quotes by Garrett Hardin (see Garrett
Hardin Quotations)
Freedom in a commons brings ruin to all.
A managed commons, though it may have other defects,
is not automatically subject to the tragic fate of the unmanaged
commons.
Dipping into the great bulk of economic analysis, you soon discover
that environment is usually no more than a ghost in the woodwork.
Economists (and others) who are satisfied with nature-free equations
develop a dangerous hubris about the potency of our species.
Affirmative action implies that if we cannot guarantee equality,
then we should legislate equity.
