Partial Common Ownership: A New Model for Ownership - A new alternative to capitalist private property that addresses scarcity in the small
Partial Common Ownership (PCO) is a flexible template for reconfiguring property relations, which has inspired many of us at RadicalxChange because it opens the door to a different kind of conversation about capitalism.

Ok I read the article you linked I agree it is a good article, but it isn’t really saying that it is a full alternative to what is proposed in the article I linked. It specifically notes in the end that:
“She highlights how conventional models may be useful for predicting behaviour of large scale CPRs.”
I was aware of Elinor Ostrom’s work before. I’m definitely excited to do a deep dive into it.
The model described in the article I linked could be very useful in those cases @anarchism
I think part of the reason why she doesn’t give specific solutions is because in her research she found that the solutions that the community used was dependent on the kinds of people in that community which made the solutions to diverse to just boil down to one thing.
Instead she came up with general principles that you could see show up consistently in all the solutions that were studied.

I guess that’s fair for the situations where she says conventional models aren’t useful.
We don’t have to treat the described institutions in the article I linked as one-size fits all model, but rather as an example of solutions that make sense under a certain set of conditions for large-scale communities.
Glen Weyl is aware of Elinor Ostrom’s work:

Also sorry for coming off a bit antagonistic. Didn’t get much sleep.

It’s all good. You sent me a great article that reignited my desire to a deep dive on Elinor Ostrom and raised good points
