The Problem with Open Access

The video explains about the limitations of resources, like how many animals you should place on a field in order to balance the situation of the limited resources. If you place more than what the resource needs, you may think you benefit more because you tend to get more of what you've placed there but in reality you're losing more because you placed more than the capacity of the resource as explained in the video where If you place animals more than the carrying capacity of the field then the grass wouldn't have enough time to regrow for the animals. It's like scarcity where people have limitless wants but we only have limited resources, so we need to basically decide about how to allocate resources efficiently in order to satisfy basic needs and as many additional wants as possible.

In order for the field to satisfy each of the animal's needs, the number of animals placed on it should not exceed on the field's carrying capacity. But with the problem of open access, were non of the people using own the land, they tend to use it more, as much as possible not knowing they are losing something.
