Summary: | The logic of the commons is applied to the U.S. labor pool. It is argued that the labor pool is an “active” commons, a commons in which the resource as well as the users of the resource can change voluntarily.

Collaborative control is given as a possible framework for making the morality shift necessary to avoid ultimate tragedy. |
