"A marvelous read, full of interesting lore and powerful ideas. . .
. Levi has pushed the historical study of resources mobilization to
a new height."--Aaron Wildavsky, University of California, Berkeley
"A magnificent book, one of the best blends of rational choice
theory and historical analysis I've seen. . . . [Levi's] resolute
focus throughout on rulers' efforts to balance extraction of
revenues against the compliance of their polities organizes this
vast collection of material into a tight, compelling
account."--Russell Hardin, University of Chicago
"Margaret Levi convincingly integrates institutional analysis
and rational choice theory to provide powerful accounts of what
state rulers do. This is an important book, certain to generate
broad interest and debate."--Theda Skocpol, Harvard University
"I think the book will have a major impact. It positions itself
in the macro-level literature and looks at states and the evolution
of political forms. But it does so while championing the use of
micro-level tools of reasoning and models derived from rational
choice."--Robert H. Bates, Duke University
