For the first time in the history of the prestigious institution, the Nobel Prize for Economics was awarded to a woman, Elinor Ostrom. Ostrom teaches at Indiana University in Bloomington, USA, is one of the greatest scholars of the consequences of the relationship between humans and the environment. In particular, he focused his work on the study of common resources and their management, deepening the analysis of institutions that, over the centuries, have been created for this purpose.
Elinor Ostrom is a well known scholar in the United States, but soon translated into Italian. One of two volumes in our country has been recently published by Addison. He has an eloquent title: Knowledge as a common good, and focuses on a of the reflection on common assets, absolutely essential in contemporary society: the need to consider knowledge as a commons, as well available for all human beings, like water or air. With the important difference that the use of knowledge by a person not limit its use by another.
The debate on knowledge as a common good is very heated in the United States, and has already lasted some years. The outcome of this debate of course very, depends largely on the attitude of the society of tomorrow. The problems of access to information, the digital divide, copyright, they are all linked to this issue and are crucial for the evolution the informational society. It is therefore no accident that the Nobel Prize for Economics was awarded to its Ostrom, who is actually a science of politics: the debate today is nullifying the commons on a global scale.
