The Constitution of Good Societies (Committee on the Political Economy of the Good Society)

By Karol Edward Sotan

The purpose of this volume is to help develop, through a variety of exploratory essays, the art and science of institutional design. The authors identify themselves with the New Constitutionalism movement, which aims to develop and promote the knowledge necessary for institutional reform and institutional creation through understanding the designer's, creator's, founder's, or reformer's perspective. They look at a variety of good societies as artifacts, as products--at least partly--of design, and consider how such societies can be crafted. Book jacket.
