Self-Regulation and Human Progress: How Society Gains When We Govern Less

by Osborne

Book Overview

This book is about what happens when we just let people work it out, sketching the rise and wane of the idea that our own motivations are often enough to help us make the best choices. Examining state power versus self-regulation in scientific discover, free speech, and socioeconomics, Evan Osborne argues that there is enough historical evidence to suggest that-as society becomes more complex-self-regulation becomes more efficient.
