 Not surprisingly, these arguments have been taken in a variety of directions over the years. Garrett Hardin’s early work focused on the squashing of individual initiatives associated with collective responsibility (Hardin 1968). So, too, did the works of many others during the Cold War. Contemporary liberals tend to be less vehement than Hardin with respect to the ways in which collective responsibility undermines individual moral agency. But they, too, worry that individuals will not take responsibility for harm that their group is being held responsible for as well. Moreover, there is some historical evidence for their concerns.
