Anna Tsing’s The Mushroom at the End of the World introduces the concept of salvage
rhythms. Begin by defining salvage rhythms in your own words and explain what the
salvage rhythms of dumpster diving might reflect about our current social and economic
systems. What is another example of a resource or industry with salvage rhythms? How
would you explain this to a friend?
Then, compare and contrast how markets, regulations, and local norms were
represented in the simulation. What seemed most effective in governing the shared
resource of food waste, and why? How might you design a governance system for the
resource or industry you identified?
