Violence and Social Orders: A Conceptual Framework for Interpreting Recorded Human History
North, Douglass C. (Washington University, St Louis)
This book integrates violence into a larger 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.
