This volume confronts an important historical hypothesis with
empirical evidence from selected periods of history. The hypothesis
in question states that competition among political and legal
organisations in developing rules has been a crucial condition for
liberty, innovation and growth in the history of mankind. It is due
to Immanuel Kant, Edward Gibbon and Max Weber and has been revived
and further developed by Nobel-Laureate Douglass C. North who
contributes the first chapter. The volume brings together political
economists, historians and legal scholars to discuss the role of
political competition in the rise and decline of nations - both in
theory and in a large number of case studies.
