Progress and Power.There are two ways people coordinate their actions: through cooperation, exercised by economic power, and through control, exercised by political power. When economic and political power are held by the same people, the result is stagnation; when those who hold economic power are not the same people who hold political power, the result is progress. This book presents the ways in which economic power and political power can be separated, and how they can remain so, by analyzing the nature of power and the differences between economic and political power. The book then discusses the history of economic and political power, including hunter-gatherer societies, agrarian societies, and modern commercial and industrial societies. This background lends insight into why political and economic power were typically held by the same people, and why recently those without political power have been able to acquire economic power. Incentives play a key role in understanding how those two types of power can become separated, and why there is always a tendency for them to recombine. But ideas also play a crucial role, including the influence of the Enlightenment, on the progress that has occurred in the last several hundred years.EconomicsEconomic historyPolitical scienceSocial choiceWelfare economicsSocial structureEqualityDevelopment economicsPolitical Economy and Economic SystemsEconomic HistoryPolitical TheorySocial Choice and WelfareSocial StructureDevelopment EconomicsEconomics.Economic history.Political science.Social choice.Welfare economics.Social structure.Equality.Development economics.Political Economy and Economic Systems.Economic History.Political Theory.Social Choice and Welfare.Social Structure.Development Economics.303.3330Holcombe Randall Gauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut148139MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910411926003321Coordination, Cooperation, and Control2032297UNINA02004nam1 22003491i 450 UON0017034320251020120755.92020030626d2001 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||Scriptorium classicumAntologia di autori latinicoordinata e diretta da Gian Biagio ConteFirenzeLe Monnier20016 v.26 cmModuloUON00170819PercorsiUON00170816001UON001708152001 ˆLa ‰Commediahanno collaboratoAndrea Aragosti, Annamaria Cotrozzi210 FirenzeLe Monnier2001215 vii, 122 p.26 cm1001UON001708172001 ˆLa ‰poesia d'amoreElena Merli, Marzia Bonfanti210 FirenzeLe Monnier2001215 x, 228 p.26 cm2001UON001708182001 ˆLa ‰poesia tra Grecia e RomaMarzia Bonfanti, Rolando Ferri, Michela Mariotti210 FirenzeLe Monnier2001215 x, 312 p.26 cm3001UON001708192001 ˆLa ‰storiaFederica Bessone, Luca Graverini210 FirenzeLe Monnier2001215 xii, 293 p.26 cm4 Modulo001UON001708202001 Filosofia e politicaFranco Bellandi, Marina Di Simone, Francesca Marino, Lara Nicolini210 FirenzeLe Monnier2001215 xiii, 407 p.26 cm5001UON001708212001 ˆIl ‰romanzoMichela Mariotti, Lara Nicolini210 FirenzeLe Monnier2001215 xi, 65 p.26 cm6001UON001708162001 Percorsi per la terza provaa cura di Floria Cresci210 FirenzeLe Monnier2001215 viii, 69 p.26 cmPercorsiLETTERATURA LATINAANTOLOGIAUONC028125FIITFirenzeUONL000052870Letteratura latina21CONTEGian BiagioUONV060262Le MonnierUONV249266650ITSOL20251024RICAUON00170343Scriptorium classicum1210382UNIOR
