I would recommend to people, not some guy who once wrote about this, but rather read the Nobel Winning economist Elinor Ostrom who has worked on these topics for a very long time.

Check out 'Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action' and all her other work.

Economist have studied these issues quite a bit, see 'property right economics', 'constitutional economics', 'Club Goods' and so on.
