Quote by Elinor Ostrom

"Rules matter. The way our institutions are organized is crucial to how we behave and what outcomes we get."

"People are far more motivated by intrinsic rewards than by external incentives."

"The most important thing about an institution is that it creates a space where people can learn to trust one another."

"Diversity of approaches increases the likelihood that at least some will work well in changing circumstances."

"Fear drives civilization. Without it, there is only chaos."

"Order through chaos. That's the only real answer."

"Politics and power corrupt when they're separated from purpose."

"The system isn't broken—it was built this way. We have to rebuild it."
