• Omnia Sunt Communia: On the Commons and the Transformation to Postcapitalism (2017, background): “(P2P Foundation 2010b) All these fit the prima facie definition of common goods I am here critically engaging with and I do not subscribe to, namely: ‘commons is a general term that refers to a resource shared by a group of people’ (Hess and Ostrom 2007: 12).”
• The Costs and Benefits of Calculation and Moral Rules (2010, neutral): “Elinor Ostrom and her colleagues have conducted a wideranging research program employing both lab and field studies on the tragedy of the commons (Ostrom, 1998, 2000; Ostrom, Gardner, & Walker, 1994; Ostrom & Hess, 2007) that suggest that the tragedy of the commons is not inevitable.”
