Societies function on the basis of rules. These rules, rather like
the rules of the road, coordinate the activities of individuals who
have a variety of goals and purposes. Whether the rules work well
or ill, and how they can be made to work better, is a matter of
major concern. Appropriately interpreted, the working of social
rules is also the central subject matter of modern political
economy. This book is about rules - what they are, how they work,
and how they can be properly analysed. The authors' objective is to
understand the workings of alternative political institutions so
that choices among such institutions (rules) can be more fully
informed. Thus, broadly defined, the methodology of constitutional
political economy is the subject matter of The Reason of Rules. The
authors have examined how rules for political order work, how such
rules might be chosen, and how normative criteria for such choices
might be established.
