Maxwell A Cameron

Political Institutions and Practical Wisdom

Between Rules and Practice

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Cameron shows how institutions rely on rules and incentives, but they need practitioners with the virtues and character to make good decisions. Wise practitioners are not only an antidote to excessive partisanship, neoliberal competitiveness, and institutional corruption; they are an essential ingredient of any democracy based on citizenship and the common good.
