  • Private ownership does have huge problems, under common ownership regulations can be implemented just like it can with private ownership, examples being national parks, which if you compare to the use of private land have been hugely better from an environmental point of view

    To expressive this more scientifically a Nash equilibrium (NE) is required under public ownership though democratic means, in private ownership you do not get a NE, normally only at best a Pareto optimum
