Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In Anarchy Unbound, Peter T. Leeson uses rational choice theory to explore the benefits of self-governance.

Provocatively, Leeson argues that in some cases anarchy may even outperform government as a system of social organization, and demonstrates where this may occur. Anarchy Unbound challenges the conventional self-governance wisdom. It showcases the incredible ingenuity of private individuals to secure social cooperation without government and how their surprising means of doing so can be superior to reliance on the state.…
