We are extremely proud of our association with Dr. Ostrom and her orthodoxy-shattering work demonstrating that when communities are given the right to self-organize they can democratically govern themselves to preserve the environment.
In her book, "Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action" Dr. Ostrom shows that common resource-pool problems can be solved by collective community action rather than by a coercive state or by privatization. She provides much-needed fresh thinking about how civilization can manage increasingly scarce natural resources in the face of population growth and increasing prosperity.
This is the kind of iconoclastic reading you will find in SOLUTIONS. Stay tuned -- our very first edition will be out soon!
