Abstract

The EconLit Abstract of the reviewed work begins “Examines the possibility that the phenomenon of free riding, or declining to contribute to a collective project if the contribution is negligible, is a recent, historically contingent concept. Discusses the prisoners’ dilemma; voting and other thresholds; negligibility; rule and act utilitarianism; and perfect competition, oligopoly, and monopoly. Tuck is Frank G.
