A Theory of the State: Economic Rights, Legal Rights, and the Scope of the State - Political Economy of Institutions and Decisions
Barzel, Yoram (University of Washington)
This book models the emergence of the state, and the forces that shape it. State creation is bound to protection needs. A specialized protector-ruler is efficient, but is also self-seeking. Individuals will install a ruler only after they create a mechanism to control him.
