This book integrates the problem of violence into a larger social science and historical framework, showing how economic and political behavior are closely linked. In most societies, which we call natural states, the polity limits violence by manipulating the economy, creating privileges. In contrast, modern societies create open access to economic and political organizations, fostering political and economic competition. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Violence and Social Orders: A Conceptual Framework for Interpreting Recorded Human History (Douglass C. North, John Joseph Wallis, Barry R. Weingast)
