From the Paper:

"Some works are groundbreaking and change the way the academics in many disciplines think about important issues. Often these works achieve this effect by having a powerful narrative that people can really relate to. One of the best examples of this type of work is the "The Tragedy of the Commons" by Garrett Hardin (Hardin 1968). This particular work had major effects on ecology, environmental studies, economics, sociology, anthropology and a range of disciplines. This is why it is often required reading in many university courses. This essay will not look at the strengths of "The Tragedy of the Commons"..."
