Abstract:	"Garrett Hardins 1968 Tragedy of the Commons remains one of the most frequently cited works across the spectrum of science indeed, a visit to http://www.sciencemag.org/feature/misc/top_articles/ reveals that this revolutionary communique remains amongst Sciences top articles. But as great philosophers from Xenophanes to Socrates to Popper to Russell have all reminded us: 'In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.'"
