Robbins Library Notes

Those of my readers who are members of Gen X probably watched the Smurfs on Saturday morning cartoons. Before I left on vacation, I found a brilliant article by Ryan Somma, who outlines economics and the Tragedy of the Commons with reference to the Smurfs.

Yes, I admit that this article sees, prima facie, a bit ridiculous, but take a look at it. I’ll wager that you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

A hat-tip to Bookforum.com for this article.
