Teksten "The Tragedy of the Commons" postulerer,
at fordi deltagere i en fælled handler egoistisk,
vil fri befolkningsvækst og fri brug af fælleden altid medføre, at
"[[f]reedom [of each herdsman] in a commons brings ruin to all]{lang=en}"
[@Hardin1968, s. 1244].
Den oprindelige tekst opsummerede problemet som at
"[the commons, if justifiable at all,
is justifiable only under conditions of low-population density.
As the human population has increased,
the commons has had to be abandoned in one aspect after another]{lang=en}"
[@Hardin1968, s. 1248].
I den senere retrospektive @Hardin1998
reflekterer Garrett Hardin over sin tidligere publikation.
Problemfeltet præciseres at vedrøre fælleder,
som ikke er tyret gennem enten socialisme eller privatisering
[@Hardin1998, s. 683],
og han opsummerer problemet således:
"[Under conditions of scarcity,
ego-centered impulses naturally impose costs on the group,
and hence on all its members]{lang=en}"
[@Hardin1998, s. 683].
