This is a riveting Dead Sea story (& stunning pictures) by @ForeignOfficial.

It's a water story with everything - externalities, public goods, cultural aspects, imperfect competition, conflict, property rights, info. asymmetry.

Sounds familiar?!

At first the sinkholes swallowed a beachside resort. Then they kept spreading

It was the backdrop for many of the epic events narrated in the Bible, and its waters are treasured for their supposed healing powers. But the Dead S...
