Individuals make decisions but they do not do so in a social
vacuum. The goods they buy are frequently status-symbols in a
zero-sum game which some will win and some must lose. Their
consumption of commodities is subject to the constraint that what
one can do, all cannot. The pressure of coalitions and interest
groups, the self- interest of politicians and bureaucrats may all
work against a solution being found for some of the most urgent
social and economic problems of our times. These problems form the
centrepiece of the economic approach to social interaction that has
been pioneered by Anthony Downs, Mancur Olson and Fred Hirsch. This
book seeks to examine and evaluate their important theories of
collective action.
