Coordination, Cooperation, and Control The Evolution of Economic and Political Power

“Holcombe’s book offers a thorough treatment of the concept of power, and it is an important resource for scholars of political economy and public choice theory.

The book can also be a valuable reference for graduate and undergraduate courses … .” (Vaios Koliofotis, Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics, Vol. 15 (1), 2022)

"This is a terrifc book. … Holcombe has been a leader in attempting that redirection back toward foundations, and this book advances that program still further.” (Michael Munger, Public Choice, Vol. 188, 2021)
