5.0 out of 5 stars It's not human to be altruistic, February 13, 2000
This review is from: Managing the Commons, Second Edition (A William J. Siffin Memorial Book) (Paperback)
This collection of essays explores how individuals view commonly-owned resources. The clear conclusion is that people are biologically selfish: each person sees his/her own interests as more important than the group's interests. Altruism doesn't work as a policy. This flies in the face of common wisdom. I wish this book could be made standard reading for all high-school students. It explains the population's apparently self-defeating habit of destroying their own habitat.
