GILL'S APPLICATION OF THE TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS TO RITCHIE'S RULE

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. 
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. 
Teach the entire village to fish, and soon there will be no fish left in the lake.
- Tom Gill, applying the "tragedy of the commons" concept to the well-known saying first known to have been written by Ann Ritchie in her novel Mrs. Dymond.
