Late Prof. Elinor Ostrom had won the Nobel prize in Economic Sciences for her work in the field of sustainability and 'the commons'. Prof. Ostrom was one of the first social scientists to specifically study the things we share—from oceans and forests to roads and money systems—and breathe fresh life into an old term: the commons.Her key idea is that neither the state nor the market is the best manager of our collective resources— it's us, we the people. She was also one of the key speakers at the Delhi Sustainable development Summit 2012 held in New Delhi.
