Managing the Commons: Insights from Elinor Ostrom, with Erik Nordman
Resources Radio (Resources for the Future podcast) (2022)
  • Erik Edward Nordman
Abstract
In this episode, host Kristin Hayes talks with Erik Nordman, professor of natural resources management and adjunct professor of economics at Grand Valley State University, and affiliate scholar at Indiana University’s Ostrom Workshop. Nordman discusses his new book, The Uncommon Knowledge of Elinor Ostrom: Essential Lessons for Collective Action, which introduces Ostrom’s Nobel Prize–winning economic concepts to a broader audience. Nordman discusses his inspiration behind writing the book, how locally tailored solutions are essential to resource management today, and Ostrom’s research legacy in establishing the Bloomington School of Political Economy. Today is especially appropriate for reflections on Elinor Ostrom’s legacy—as we celebrate International Women’s Day.
