Technology and the Common Good : The Unity and Division of a Democratic Society

ing on the work of Elinor Ostrom (Governing the Commons;) the author examines how the different shared goods of a democratic society are shaped by technology and demonstrates how club goods, common pool resources, and public goods are supported, enhanced, and disrupted by technology. He further argues that as the common good is undermined by different interests, it should be possible to reclaim technology, if the members of the society conclude that they have something in common.
