Dear John,
Have you heard of Elinor Ostrom? She was the first woman awarded the Nobel Prize in economics.
Ostrom is best known for her research on local problem solving and how to manage resources shared by different groups and people yet not owned by anyone — also known as “common pool resources.” This area of analysis, where she made enormous contributions, would shape her entire academic career.
A new essay published by the Fraser Institute examines her key insights. This essay is part of a forthcoming book that will examine the lives and ideas of women who helped shape the free and prosperous societies we enjoy today!
Check out the short animated video about Elinor Ostrom's fascinating life here. [[link removed]]
And stay tuned for the full Essential Women of Liberty series!
Stay safe,
Niels Veldhuis
President
The Fraser Institute
STAY UP TO DATE
