Document Summary
Members of the group must decide individually what they want, what they are prepared to contribute to the collective enterprise, and how to coordinate their efforts with those of others. For example, whether the drivers should drive on the left side or the right side coordination dilemma for a country. The government can make rules and laws to overcome this problem: free rider problem. It means the failure that occurs when people take advantage of being able to use a common resource, or collective good, without paying for it. Which means that people are self- interested individuals who care more about themselves than the group. For example, the prisoner"s dilemma is a typical free rider problem. The prisoners would choose to sell the partner to achieve his or her own largest benefit: common pool resource dilemmas. Same as tragedy of the commons: tragedy of the commons.
