Through analytical narratives the book provides a close examination of the world's first stock markets, key elements of which were unenforceable by law; the community of Celebration, Florida, and other private communities that show how public goods can be bundled with land and provided more effectively; and the millions of credit-card transactions that occur daily and are regulated by private governance. \u003cem\u003ePrivate Governance \u003c\/em\u003eultimately argues that while potential problems of private governance, such as fraud, are pervasive, so are the solutions it presents, and that much of what is orderly in the economy can be attributed to private groups and individuals. With meticulous research, Stringham demonstrates that private governance is a far\u003cbr\u003emore common source of order than most people realize, and that private parties have incentives to devise different mechanisms for eliminating unwanted behavior. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrivate Governance \u003c\/em\u003edocuments numerous examples of private order throughout history to illustrate how private governance is more resilient to internal and external pressure than is commonly believed. Stringham discusses why private governance has economic and social advantages over relying on government regulations and laws, and explores the different mechanisms that enable private governance, including sorting, reputation, assurance, and other bonding mechanisms. Challenging and rigorously-written, \u003cem\u003ePrivate Governance\u003c\/em\u003e will make a compelling read for those with an interest in economics, political philosophy, and the history of current Wall Street regulations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdward Peter Stringham\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Davis Professor of Economic Organizations and Innovation at Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut.
