Developing a new idea requires money, which poses a problem of trust. The innovator must trust the investor with his idea and the investor must trust the innovator with her money. Robert Cooter and Hans-Bernd Schäfer call this the "double trust dilemma of development." Nowhere is this problem more acute than in poorer nations, where the failure to solve it results in stagnant economies. In Solomon's Knot, Cooter and Schäfer propose a legal theory of economic growth that details how effective property, contract, and business laws help to unite capital and ideas. They also demonstrate why ineffective private and business laws are the root cause of the poverty of nations in today's world. Without the legal institutions that allow innovation and entrepreneurship to thrive, other attempts to spur economic growth are destined to fail. 410 4$aThe Kauffman Foundation Series on Innovation and Entrepreneurship 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aLaw and economics 606 $aLaw$xEconomic aspects 606 $aPoverty 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aLaw and economics. 615 0$aLaw$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aPoverty. 676 $a343/.07 700 $aCooter$b Robert$0241090 701 $aScha?fer$b Hans-Bernd$0559464 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818661103321 996 $aSolomon's knot$93992529 997 $aUNINA
