As nations and corporations race to claim celestial resources, philosopher A. C. Grayling challenges our assumptions about ownership in ‘Who Owns the Moon?: In Defence of Humanity’s Common Interests in Space’. This insightful book from The Bookish Owl explores the historical precedents of managing shared global resources, from common lands to Antarctica, and critically examines the ‘tragedy of the commons’ as applied to space. Grayling probes who truly benefits from lunar and Martian resources and what responsibilities these spacefaring entities have to all of humanity. With Earth’s supplies dwindling, this timely defense argues for a new global understanding to protect our common future in the cosmos.
