reviewed Oyster Wars and Public Trust Wh: Property, Law and Ecology in New Jersey History on January 02, 2015 Oyster Wars and Public Trust Wh
McEvoy's thorough, well-researched, and not at all interesting examination of fishery issues in California that led to the passage of the 1976 FCMA constitutes a good case application of Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons" problem. In short, the book presents a compelling but not especially sophisticated argument for increased sensitivity to environmental problems: brute self-interest will lead only to devastation. I'm really amazed at how readable this book was, given its subject matter (McEvoy himself says that he is following Robert Wiebe's injunction to write in simple prose so that laypeople can avail themselves of scholarly research).
