Sole Trader

Building on the social psych definition, there are number parameters to be a sole trader.

1 - A sole trader always has a higher preference for warm associations over close friendships. While sole traders can be friendly and engaging, they maintain a distance with all people at all times. This can unintentionally upset/offend others, when misinterpreted.

2 - Unlike the lone wolf, the sole trader naturally associates many social groups and classes. Sole traders always have an above average intellect. This quality assistants with their preference for solitude but intermingling with many social stations.

3 - Generally, a sole trader is a personal description based on inner reflection. It would be uncommon to call someone else a sole trader.
The character Tom Booker in the Book/Movie The Horse Whisper is an example of a sole trader.

tragedy of the commons

The term has its origins in the sharing of grazing land in a given community, called "the commons", in Britain. An individual farmer could increase his or her profits by using more of the commons than others. The other farmers would then follow suite, leading to the overexploitation and destruction of that land.

In its modern usage, the phrase is used as a metaphor to the above, referring to the exploitation of a common resource. In game theory it is used as an example of how, in a given situation, every individual can choose to do what is best for their own interests and still produce the worst sum result for the whole. See also: prisoner's dilemna.

The most common and effective way to negotiate this problem is private ownership. Another way is heavy regulation and the imposition of sanctions on violators.
usage: When big companies pollute the air, it's just another example of the tragedy of the commons.
