Machan The famous calculation problem facing centrally planned economies, identified by Ludwig von Mises and his followers, and the famous tragedy of the commons hinted at early on by Thucydides and Aristotle and developed more fully by Garret Hardin, are, in effect, two sides of the same coin. The one side is the description, and the other the evaluation of the same phenomenon, namely, the refusal to recognize private property rights in human affairs. Put briefly, when individuals are not owners of resources, they are not able to assess their value; and, when resources are publicly owned, their use will be systematically hasty and imprudent. Thucydides put it this way:

Soon after the war began, Thucydides perceived that it would be a conflict on a scale without precedent and he would become its historian. He ... began writing the History of the Peloponnesian War to which he devoted most of his life. Thucydides believed that there were patterns of behavior which emerged during the war, and that they could be repeated in the future. He was a mechanist in that he believed that when faced with similar problems, similar people would react in similar fashions. Believing that one may change immediate situations, the end products of large-scale enterprises are the result of mechanical forces present in nature and in man. Source: novaonline.nvcc.edu Thucydides was the famous Greek author of "The Peloponnesian War." He was born somewhere between 460 and 455 BC. Thucydides was a wealthy Athenian noble and the son of Olorus the King of Thrace. His wealth came from his families goldmines at Scapte Hyle on the Tracian coast. Thucydides was connected through family to Miltiades and Cimon. Thucydides lived between his two homes, one in Athens and one in Thrace.

Slow in assembling, they devote a very small fraction of the time to the consideration of any public object, most of it to the prosecution of their own objects. Meanwhile each fancies that no harm will come of his neglect, that it is the business of somebody else to look after this or that for him; and so, by the same notion being entertained by all separately, the common cause imperceptibly decays. Thucydides (c.460 - 400 BC)
