The Invisible Hook
Shloky looks at the business of piracy. It reminds me that I’ve been meaning to post on my current reading material: The Invisible Hook: The Hidden Economics of Pirates by Peter Leeson. It’s Freakanomics meets Illicit. Lesson explains how the pursuit of self-interest and profit led pirates to create their own systems of goverance, even though they lived outside of any government structure. It is well written and stimulating - recommended.
Very cool. Just added to the antilibrary.
