Review: Fantástico - Leeson reúne aquí varios de sus ensayos sobre la organización de los piratas en el siglo XVII con la idea común que la búsqueda del beneficio privado condujo a resultados sociales deseables en un entorno de auto-regulación, fuera de la ley. Muy bien documentado, destaca sobre todo por la coherencia y originalidad de sus ideas. Fantástico.
Review: The Invisible Hook - This book produces what it promised ... an analysis of pirate behaviours and practices from a fairly pure economic perspective. Leeson writes in a fluent and accessible style and injects about the right amount of historical data. Too little would have made me feel like I ought to have read up on the golden age of piracy in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries before I started on this book. Too much may have made the book drag on a bit. He has chosen the events carefully to support his arguments and keep the interest level from flagging. His research appears to have been comprehensive. Although he is an self-confessed pirate tragic, he keeps the voice he uses in the book clinical enough to be convincing rather than romantic. The pirates were rogues, robbers and driven by greed but not usually gratuitously violent or vicious. It's an informative and entertaining book which I enjoyed.
