    GARDINER, STEPHEN M.

    Journal Article

    In two celebrated and widely anthologized articles, as well as several books, the biologist Garrett Hardin claims (a) that the world population problem has a certain structure: It is a tragedy of the commons; and, (b) that, given this structure, the only tenable solutions involve either coercion or immense human suffering. Gardiner argues for two claims. First, Hardin's arguments are deeply flawed. Second, much of Hardin's pessimism is justified.
