People have always faced the challenge of living in a world with incomplete property rights, that part
of the world known as "the commons." The book explains how two approaches have emerged for dealing with
the commons: evolved rules based on common sense and common law provide one potential solution to the
problem; statutes, regulation, and command and control--the law of politics--offer another category of
solutions.
