Barkley,

I just wanted to interject into this discussion a recognition of 
today's Nobel Prize going to Lin Ostrom.  And congratulate you on 
running the special issue on Lin's work a few years ago, which 
touched on her contributions to the study of spontaneous order.

My latest book Challenging Institutional Analysis and Development 
(Routledge, 2009) picks up from what we had discussed in that JEBO 
issue and develops further the contributions to political economy of 
Lin and Vincent Ostrom.

It is all about building a political economy on the basis of HUMANLY 
rational choice, and all that entails for behavior, institutions, and 
epistemic properties of alternative environments.

The Ostrom's as a team were awarded the first lifetime achievement 
award from the Fund for the Study of Spontaneous Order
