I think in economics this is referred to as the tragedy of the commons, because this is what happens when no one owns these common resources. For example, Kruja gets her name from the the word "krua" which means natural spring, and all over that little town you can just get any amount of water from those springs and use it for personal needs, FREE =D Imagine Michiganders just using the Great Lakes' water resources, because the lakes are theirs since they are Michiganders. Unless the water supply comes in your home, "taking advantage" of other natural resources outside is not seen as something that requires paying a bill, because the land is yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
