Congratulations to Professor Tomas Nonnenmacher and co-authors Eric Alston, Lee J. Alston and Bernardo Mueller on the publication of their book, “Institutional and Organizational Analysis: Concepts and Applications; New Approaches to Economic and Social History.”
This book discusses how “Institutional and organizational analysis becomes the basis to show why the economic and political performance of countries worldwide have not converged, and reveals the lessons to be learned from it for business, law, and public policy.” (quotation from Amazon introduction)
The book will be available at Amazon beginning September 30, 2018.
