In this book, written with non economist authors, another perspective on the state and social order is suggested. In his earlier work North proposed first a limited view on the role of the state in economic development. In his book of 1990 North began to develop a more sophisticated theory of the state in relation to institutional evolution, therefore to economic development. Bringing theoretical news from other disciplines, in his book of 2005 North mixed some ideas from cognitive psychology to its institutional theory. Now in this book written with Wallis and Weingast, North's theory of institutions and the state are mixed with theories of social capital, which brings more complexity to a theory comprised with the realism of its assumptions and more theoretical power to to deal with issues relating to economic development.
