The Not So Wild, Wild West: Property Rights on the Frontier
ISBN: 9780804748544 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mention of the American West usually evokes images of rough and tumble cowboys, ranchers, and outlaws. In contrast, The Not So Wild, Wild West casts America's frontier history in a new framework that emphasizes the creation of institutions, both formal and informal, that facilitated cooperation rather than conflict. Rather than describing the frontier as a place where heroes met villains, this book argues that everyday people helped carve out legal institutions that tamed the West. The authors emphasize that ownership of resources evolves as those resources become more valuable...

From journalistic accounts like Fiasco and Imperial Life in the Emerald City to insider memoirs like Jawbreaker and Three Cups of Tea, the books about America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could fill a library.

Bush told advisor Karl Rove, "I am here for a...
