Exhibit 1192 ยท Working paper (not peer reviewed as read)
A Conceptual Framework for Interpreting Recorded Human History (working paper; precursor to Violence and Social Orders)
Limited access orders provide order by using the political system to limit economic entry to create rents, and then using the rents to stabilize the political system and limit violence.
Authors' own earlier statement of the limited-access versus open-access framework later published as Violence and Social Orders (Cambridge University Press, 2009; book text not read). In a limited access order the elite limits entry to create rents and uses the rents to hold order. Abstract and introduction read; the book itself and the 2009 Journal of Democracy summary were not accessible.
