| Abstract
|
:
|
A person's contribution to a large collective project (e.g. voting in a national election) often seems negligible. A proposition of contemporary economics and political science is that it would be an exercise of reason not to contribute to such a project, but still to benefit from it. Tuck looks at this phenomenon of 'free riding'.
