Commons N2 - "Commons opened Institutional Economics by declaring: ""My point of view is based on my participation in collective activities, from which I here derive a theory of the part played by collective action in control of individual action."" This sentence well summarizes the three key elements of this book--its theoretical intent, the importance Commons gave to his own experience in institutional reform in shaping these ideas, and the focus on the concept of the institution as a collective constraint on individual action."--Provided by publisher UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780203788462 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
