Progress and Power. 330 $aThere 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. 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aPolitical theory 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W46000 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 606 $aPolitical Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010 606 $aSocial Choice/Welfare Economics/Public Choice/Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31020 606 $aSocial Structure, Social Inequality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aPolitical theory. 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 14$aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aSocial Choice/Welfare Economics/Public Choice/Political Economy. 615 24$aSocial Structure, Social Inequality. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 676 $a303.3 676 $a330 700 $aHolcombe$b Randall G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0148139 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411926003321 996 $aCoordination, Cooperation, and Control$92032297 997 $aUNINA
